• Confirm approved pipes, fittings, valves, chambers, pumps, and associated equipment are correctly received, stored, protected, handled, and installed.
• Monitor Contractor and Subcontractor quality performance and identify non-conforming work before subsequent activities conceal or affect it.
• Review wet utility NCRs and quality observations and support root cause investigations for installation defects and failed tests.
• Coordinate corrective and preventive measures and verify completed rectification before recommending closure.
• Inspect potable and domestic water networks, irrigation systems, fire water networks, sewerage systems, wastewater infrastructure, stormwater drainage, and surface water systems.
• Provide quality oversight for pumping stations, sewage pump stations, storage tanks, fire water tanks, irrigation tanks, and water treatment installations where applicable.

• Verify required separation and protection between wet utilities and electrical, ICT, roads, structures, and other underground services.
• Inspect sleeves, penetrations, waterproofing, crossings, and protection arrangements at utility interfaces.
