Grading Action — Maintenance Evidence

What Verification Evidence Proves

Verification evidence should answer the acceptance question asked. Elevation measurements establish geometry; material records and relevant tests address layer condition. Neither should be silently substituted for the other.

Before moving material

Define the checks needed for the finished purpose.

Receiving operation and checks

Hand over accepted areas and clearly identify exceptions. Check that the evidence concerns the same layer and work zone.

An instrument display is not a complete acceptance record.

Dugong Working Weight & Cutting Action

Dugong working weight should be considered in relation to cutting depth, traction and the complete tractor combination. A carried load changes transport and hitch demands as well as the cutting operation.

Before moving material

Confirm current machine weight, permissible loading and tractor limits.

Receiving operation and checks

Recheck handling and receiving-surface condition as loads change. Record the actual configuration used for operating observations.

Weight and blade-pressure estimates are not a substitute for a compatibility assessment.

Record the job inputs

Use this checklist to turn the scenario into a specific brief. Retain the design revision and agree who accepts each completed layer.

• Existing condition, extent and the reason for intervention
• Required finished purpose, receiving operation and acceptance criteria
• Material type, layer role, source, receiving area and volume state
• Reference levels, datum, survey method and issued design revision
• Available tractor, implement configuration, travel route and turning space
• Checks before work, stopping points and evidence retained at handover

Checklist ticks apply only while this page is open. Include the completed brief in your project records.
