Acceptance ownership
Identify the project party, standard or specification that determines when work is accepted.
Compaction verification planning
Use this guide to make the project discussion more precise.
Compaction verification is more than collecting a machine reading. The project must define inspection points, test locations, records and the responsible acceptance decision before mobilisation.
This guide separates process monitoring from acceptance testing so a buyer can request the correct information and evidence route.

Guide contents
Questions a technical buyer should resolve before selection.
Verification points
Set out work zones, inspection locations and test points against the construction sequence.
Process records
Equipment monitoring can support traceable work history, but it does not automatically establish ground acceptance.
Evidence handover
Compile the specified inspection, test and process records before the next work package starts.
Evidence boundary
A useful guide is clear about what it does not prove.
CMG uses this resource to organise a project conversation. It does not replace site investigation, geotechnical design, equipment documentation or the project acceptance specification.
- Do not use machine activity as a substitute for required acceptance testing.
- Keep process records, inspection and testing clearly separated.
- Review missing or inconsistent records before handover.
Buyer checklist
Prepare these inputs before sending an RFQ.
- Who owns the acceptance decision?
- Which zones and test points are required?
- What records will be captured during operation?
- What reporting format and timing are required?
- How will exceptions be escalated and closed?
Decision record
Turn the research question into a reviewable equipment brief.
Use the following record as a handover between procurement, site engineering and the equipment supplier. Empty fields are signals to investigate, not assumptions to fill with a generic machine claim.

Further questions for the project team.
Is monitoring the same as acceptance testing?
No. Monitoring documents operation; acceptance follows the project specification and responsible authority.
When should verification planning start?
Before mobilisation, so work zones, records and acceptance ownership align with the programme.
Can a compaction report prove ground improvement?
Only if the project specification defines that report and method as acceptance evidence.
What should be included in a verification RFQ?
Include application, work zones, required inspection or testing, records, reporting and equipment already planned.
