Acceptance inspection helps the project team compare delivered traffic signal equipment with the approved order before it is distributed or installed. It should be planned around the purchase order, approved drawings, packing list, and project acceptance procedure.
Inspect identity before appearance
First confirm that cartons, labels, item references, and quantities match the approved equipment schedule. Then verify that the delivered signal heads, controllers, brackets, poles, and accessories correspond to the specified configuration. A visually similar head may still have a different aspect layout, voltage, connector, or mounting arrangement.
Receiving checklist
- Count packages and compare the packing list with the purchase order.
- Record visible damage, missing labels, or packaging concerns before moving equipment to storage.
- Check model or configuration references against approved drawings and submittal documents.
- Confirm that included brackets, hardware, manuals, wiring documents, and other agreed accessories are present.
- Photograph and isolate discrepancies, then report them with the package reference and item description.
Do not replace project commissioning
A receiving inspection is not a controller configuration test or an engineering approval. Electrical connection, phase sequence, structural mounting, and commissioning must follow the approved project procedure. Keep the receiving record focused on delivered identity, completeness, condition, and documentation.
Resolve issues while records are available
Send any discrepancy report with the order reference, package labels, photos, quantity affected, and a clear description of the issue. This makes it possible to distinguish a transit problem, an omitted accessory, a document gap, or an equipment mismatch.
Use the submittal package checklist to organize matching documents. For a project-specific equipment list, contact GQ Traffic.
