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 wind energy 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, wind energy work is typically assessed against AS/NZS 1170: Wind actions, AEMO grid code and OEM installation manuals, and the ITP is how you show each requirement was actually verified.

What hold points should a Wind Energy ITP include?

At minimum: anchor bolt tensioning, tower bolt torque verification and grid code compliance 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 wind energy inspections?

The references most wind energy ITPs cite are AS/NZS 1170: Wind actions, AEMO grid code and OEM installation manuals. 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 wind energy ITP on a real project?

Yes, as a starting point. Generate the wind energy ITP for your scope, then review it against your contract and specification, especially the hold points, like anchor bolt tensioning. 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 Wind Energy ITP?

A wind energy ITP defines the quality verification steps for infrastructure and energy projects, installation checks, testing, commissioning, and hold points before energisation or acceptance.

Most wind energy ITPs are built around the moments where work becomes hard or expensive to undo. For this scope that usually means anchor bolt tensioning, tower bolt torque verification and grid code compliance test, each one a hold point that pauses the job until it's signed off. Witness points like foundation rebar inspection, cable trench and earthing, and nacelle assembly tell the superintendent or client when to attend, without holding up the crew if they can't make it.

Reference standards matter here: AS/NZS 1170: Wind actions, AEMO grid code and OEM installation manuals are the documents a superintendent or certifier will expect to see cited. A wind energy ITP that names the requirement behind each check is much harder to argue with months later.

Quality checkpoints

Wind Energy ITP Hold Points & Witness Points

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.

Hold Points

Work stops until signed off

Anchor bolt tensioning
Tower bolt torque verification
Grid code compliance test

Witness Points

Party notified, work can continue

Foundation rebar inspection
Cable trench and earthing
Nacelle assembly
SCADA setup

Applicable Australian Standards

AS/NZS 1170: Wind actions
AEMO grid code
OEM installation manuals

Audit-grade evidence

GPS & weather captured at every wind energy sign-off.

Generating a wind energy 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.
