What a finding looks like
Excerpts from a sample report on a DN300 water main extension, reviewed against
Uisce Éireann's Code of Practice for Water Infrastructure (CDS-5020-03):
✗ Gap
severity: major · confidence: high
Clause 1.5 — Protection of Water Quality
Finding: Clause 1.5 prescribes hygiene procedures, worker exclusion
for waterborne disease, and use of products approved under DWI/WRAS schemes during
installation. The submission's Section 7.3 covers post-construction disinfection
(chlorine protocol, bacteriological sampling) but does not address construction-stage
hygiene, worker health screening, or DWI/WRAS-approved materials.
Evidence (submission p.1): "Pre-commissioning disinfection will follow standard chlorine-based disinfection protocol."
△ Partial
severity: minor · confidence: medium
Clause 4.6 — Anchor / Thrust / Support Blocks
Finding: Clause 4.6 spans angular joint deflection, concrete thrust block
design (referencing CIRIA Report 128), and bolt material grades. The submission addresses
thrust block material and dimensions (Section 3.3 — Grade C32/40, sized per Drawing TB-001)
and bolt grades (Section 3.2 — stainless A4 with 16% Cr). It does not address joint angular
deflection or explicitly cite CIRIA Report 128.
Evidence (submission p.1): "All thrust blocks shall be cast in-situ Grade C32/40 concrete with type II cement, conforming to IS EN 206. Block dimensions shall be in accordance with the schedule shown on Drawing TB-001."
✓ Satisfied
confidence: high
Clause 2.6.10 — Storage Capacity at Units
Finding: The submission Section 5 commits to internal storage facilities
sized for at least 24 hours of average demand at every unit, directly addressing the
clause's requirement.
Evidence (submission p.1): "All units shall be provided with internal storage facilities sized for at least 24 hours of average demand."
A typical report covers 80–120 clauses across the spec library, grouped by section,
ordered gap → partial → unclear → satisfied within each section so the
reviewer's attention goes to what needs work first.
