What is an ITP in construction?

An Inspection and Test Plan (ITP) is a quality assurance document used in construction to define inspection activities, hold points, and witness points at key stages of work. It specifies what needs to be checked, by whom, and records the results for audit and compliance purposes.

How much does HoldPoint QA cost?

HoldPoint QA charges $45 AUD per active project per month. There are no per-seat fees or per-document charges. Projects start as draft (free) until the first document is added.

Can external clients sign ITPs without an account?

Yes. HoldPoint QA sends a secure sign-off link via email. External signatories (clients, principal's representatives, or engineers), can review the full ITP checklist and sign digitally without needing an account or app.

Does HoldPoint generate ITP PDFs automatically?

Yes. When an ITP is approved, HoldPoint automatically generates a branded PDF containing all checklist results, inspection notes, photos, and signatures. PDFs are regenerated if any information changes.

Do I need an ITP for oil & gas maintenance work in Australia?

If your contract, principal contractor, or client QA manual calls for an Inspection and Test Plan, you need one, whether or not your scope is "construction" in the everyday sense. On commercial and government projects, oil & gas maintenance work is typically assessed against AS 2885: Pipelines and API inspection codes, and the ITP is how you show each requirement was actually verified.

What hold points should a Oil & Gas Maintenance ITP include?

At minimum: isolation / zero energy verification, pressure test sign-off and post-maintenance leak test. Hold points belong wherever a defect would be concealed by following work or expensive to put right, so work stops until the nominated party signs. Your specification or the principal's QA plan may add more.

Which standards apply to oil & gas maintenance inspections?

The references most oil & gas maintenance ITPs cite are AS 2885: Pipelines and API inspection codes. Always check the project specification as well, it frequently calls up extra requirements, or a specific edition, on top of the standard.

Can I use an AI-generated oil & gas maintenance ITP on a real project?

Yes, as a starting point. Generate the oil & gas maintenance ITP for your scope, then review it against your contract and specification, especially the hold points, like isolation / zero energy verification. Run it through HoldPoint for digital sign-offs, photos, and branded PDFs, and have your QA manager or superintendent approve the final version before it goes to site.

Background

What is a Oil & Gas Maintenance ITP?

A oil & gas maintenance ITP defines inspection and testing requirements for mining, quarry, or remote resource projects, often under principal contractor QA systems and strict hold-point rules.

Most oil & gas maintenance ITPs are built around the moments where work becomes hard or expensive to undo. For this scope that usually means isolation / zero energy verification, pressure test sign-off and post-maintenance leak test, each one a hold point that pauses the job until it's signed off. Witness points like hot work permits, flange torque records and hydrotest docs tell the superintendent or client when to attend, without holding up the crew if they can't make it.

Reference standards matter here: AS 2885: Pipelines and API inspection codes are the documents a superintendent or certifier will expect to see cited. A oil & gas maintenance ITP that names the requirement behind each check is much harder to argue with months later.

The AI generator automatically includes these checkpoints based on your scope description. Hold points require mandatory sign-off before work proceeds; witness points notify the relevant party but don't stop work.

Audit-grade evidence

GPS & weather captured at every oil & gas maintenance sign-off.

Generating a oil & gas maintenance ITP gets you a checklist. Defending it years later in a defect claim is a different problem. HoldPoint records the inspector's GPS coordinates and the live weather (temperature, humidity, wind, and sky condition), at the moment they sign each hold point. The data prints on the final PDF under the signature.

Temperature on record

Pour temp, ambient, and curing window, automatically logged.

Humidity & wind

Critical for paint, coating, and curing claims under AS standards.

Lat / lng + map link

Proof the inspector was actually on site, not signing from the office.

Available on every paid HoldPoint plan. The free generator gives you the ITP: HoldPoint gives you the defensible record.
