How To Fill-up Inspection Request for the First Time<\/em><\/a> and so can you.<\/p>\nOnce you receive the WIR from the Project Engineer you can write the description into your approved WIR template.<\/p>\n
The first thing to do is ask the document controller (DC) for the next WIR reference number. Or, if you are the one controlling the WIR number, then you can just use the reference number that comes next.
\nThen write in the date and the date of the inspection, which sometimes occurs after 24 hours. Next, you describe your activity. Don\u2019t forget to write the activity number from the Inspection and Test Plan.<\/p>\n
3. Main contractor Document Controller to Submit WIR to Consultant<\/h3>\n
The document controller shall be responsible for submitting the Work Inspection Request to the engineer or consultant. He\/she will make a copy from the original WIR as a \u201creceived copy,\u201d which he\/she will hand over to the consultant\u2019s document controller. At this stage of the process, the main contractor\u2019s document controller and the consultant\u2019s document controller will talk.<\/p>\n
4. The Consultant\u2019s Document Controller to Record the WIR<\/h3>\n
The document controller of the consultant shall receive the WIR and he\/she shall stamp the received copy. The WIR will then be recorded in his\/her log and eventually return the WIR received copy after confirming that the reference number is in true succession and correct.
\nWhile the original WIR shall be sent to the Engineer or Consultant for Inspection.<\/p>\n
5. The Main Contractor\u2019s Document Controller to Log the WIR<\/h3>\n
Once the WIR received copy is returned to the document controller of the main contractor, he\/she will record all the details on the WIR in his\/her log. He\/she should make sure that the log is up-to-date with all the details indicated on it.
\nAt this stage, the log is being updated with the date the WIR is submitted along with the revision, which is at zero status (revision 0).<\/p>\n
When the original WIR is returned with comments (the engineer or consultant has definitely completed the inspection), then the DC will give a copy of the WIR\u2019s front sheet to each concerned staff member, especially the QAQC Engineer because he\/she is the one who will follow up with the rectification if the WIR needs to be revised and the status resubmitted. He\/she will eventually resubmit the WIR once the rectification is completed.<\/p>\n
If the WIR is returned with \u201cApproved with Comment status\u201d a copy shall also be given to the concerned staff members to inform them of what the comments are. Although it is approved, there are still requirements that need to be taken care of.
\nThe DC will update the log putting in all the necessary details, such as the \u201cdate returned\u201d and the comments, which shall be recorded in the log. But, this is optional because it will require a lot of work to record all the comments. A single DC can\u2019t always perform that task due to his\/her work volume.<\/p>\n
The original WIR shall be stored in Archive 1. It is stored in the file box labeled 2. Also, scan the WIR and store in the shared folder so that each staff member may access it in the network.<\/p>\n
6. QA or QAQC Engineer to resubmit the WIR<\/h3>\n
Now, at this time a commented WIR will only be submitted if the comments are addressed. Take a copy of the revision 0 of the same WIR and then save as Revision 1 (Rev. 1) and then update the date and time of your desired time of inspection.<\/p>\n
7. Start over at Step 3<\/h3>\n
The main contractor\u2019s document controller shall start over again at Step 3. He\/she will follow the process again, but this time it is for the Revision 1 Work Inspection Request until it reaches Step 6. If the WIR still gets a \u201crevise and resubmit\u201d status, then go back to Step 3 and so on and so forth.<\/p>\n
In most cases, the Work Inspection Request does have a revise and resubmit status. So, you as a QAQC Engineer have to make sure that the site you are going to inspect with your consultant is fully ready in order to avoid resubmissions of the WIR, which obviously delays the project because you cannot proceed with the following work without the Work Inspection Request you submitted being approved.<\/p>\n
Quality Engineers Tips:<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\u2022 Work Inspection Request or WIR is used to include in\u00a0the application of periodical project billing, ensure that it is approved.

What is the Work Inspection Request document controlling the procedure on your project? Do you follow the above procedure?

Understanding and following the correct procedures for submitting your Work Inspection Requests is important. These procedures are sometimes confusing, especially if you are not an expert on the document controlling system for Work Inspection Requests. There are also various types of document controlling systems for different projects, but Work Inspection Requests are the ones that would definitely require proper document controls.
