Recommendation

IÉ IM CCE should complete a thorough review of the Cuttings, Embankments and Coastal/River Defences Inspection Card set out in CCE-STR-STD-2100 to ensure that Structures Inspectors have the correct means to complete the card without the requirement for alterations to templates or defined terms. The process of approval of these Inspection Cards should also be reviewed to ensure that they are reviewed and approved by the Senior Track & Structures Engineer.
