| Footpaths checks | Evidence | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Verification of materials for sub-base material (confirmation non-frost susceptibility), binder course and surface course. | Tickets | All sources |
| Inspection of formation (clear of vegetation/topsoil). | Visual | All lengths |
| Weed spray to formation. | Visual | All lengths |
| Inspection of all backfilling and compaction of all service trenches, redundant land drainage (with sub-base material). | Visual | All lengths |
| Checks on depth of sub-base. | Visual | All lengths |
| Inspection of edgings, including bed/backing and line and level (ensure line of edgings are dropped at vehicular crossings). | Visual | All lengths |
| Check for dropped kerbs and tactile crossing, ensure dropped kerbs do not exceed 6mm up stand. | Visual | All locations |
| Ensure sufficient depth is provided to allow for 25mm of surface course. | Visual | All lengths |
| Ensure street lighting columns are installed in the correct location and within adoptable area. Significant defects (such as damaged columns) are rectified. | Visual | All columns |
| Cores to separately assess thickness, compaction and bond of binder and surface course layers. | Testing | One per 100m (minimum three per site) |
