Vehicular traffic coatingVehicular traffic coating final inspection checklist
Vehicular traffic coating final inspection is where the punch list is either short or expensive. This checklist walks the finished work the way an owner or AHJ will see it: devices on, systems running, everything labeled. Each item gets the photo that closes it instead of reopening it. Work is commonly verified against manufacturer's published instructions. Confirm the edition your authority having jurisdiction has adopted.

Who runs it
The GC's superintendent with the coating foreman, walking each completed bay before it opens to traffic.
When in the schedule
After all coats are down and cured and any specified flood or spray test is complete, before the deck is striped and opened to vehicles.
The checklist
Every item, and the photo that proves it
The photo count on each row is what RTI would require before the item can be submitted. Copy the list as is, or load it into RTI and let the gate enforce it.
Coats and thickness
- 2 photos
Each coat applied and thickness verified
Primer, base and wear coats all present, wet-film checked during application and material consumption reconciled against the coverage rate for the area.
- 2 photos
Aggregate broadcast in the wear course
Aggregate broadcast into the wet coat at the specified rate and locked in by the top coat, even texture across ramps and flat bays alike.
- 1 photo
Cure reached before traffic
Top coat cured per the recall time for the deck temperature, surface not tacky, before any load or vehicle is allowed on.
Detail coverage
- 2 photos
Coverage continuous at curbs, columns and walls
Upturns at curbs, column bases and walls carried to the specified height, no thin spots or holidays at the base of the vertical.
- 2 photos
Drains and joints tied in and sealed
Coating turned cleanly into each drain, expansion joints and reglets sealed, no bridged or lifted edges at terminations.
Watertightness
- 3 photos
Flood or spray test performed where specified
Test run per the specified method on the deck or bay, water held or sprayed for the required time, underside and edges checked.
- 2 photos
Any leaks traced, repaired and re-tested
Entry point found, repair photographed, the same area re-tested and documented before signoff.
What usually sends this back
The failures are almost always the evidence, not the work
- Wet-film thickness never checked during application, so the base or wear coat comes in thin and the system wears through early at the drive lanes.
- Aggregate broadcast to refusal in the ramp but skipped in the flatter bays, leaving slick areas where the wear course has no grip.
- Deck opened to traffic before the top coat had fully cured, printing tire marks and picking up the coating at turns.
Run it with the Photo Gate
A checklist nobody can submit half-finished
Load this list into RTI, stick a QR tag on the area it covers, and the submit button stays locked until every mandatory item is answered and the 14 required photos exist. Approved walks roll into a branded turnover package with a tamper-evident record behind every line.
Submission state
The gate is enforced on the server, so it holds even if the phone is offline when the walk happens.
Common questions
- What does this vehicular traffic coating final checklist cover?
- 7 items across 3 sections, covering coats and thickness, detail coverage, watertightness. Each item spells out what the person walking the job is actually looking for, not just a box to tick.
- Who should run this inspection?
- The GC's superintendent with the coating foreman, walking each completed bay before it opens to traffic.
- When in the schedule should this walk happen?
- After all coats are down and cured and any specified flood or spray test is complete, before the deck is striped and opened to vehicles.
- Why does every item ask for a photo?
- 14 of the 7 items call for photo evidence. A checklist answer without the photo is a claim; the photo is what makes the record worth something in a dispute and lets a reviewer approve work without re-walking the job.
- What most often fails a vehicular traffic coating final inspection?
- Wet-film thickness never checked during application, so the base or wear coat comes in thin and the system wears through early at the drive lanes. Aggregate broadcast to refusal in the ramp but skipped in the flatter bays, leaving slick areas where the wear course has no grip. Deck opened to traffic before the top coat had fully cured, printing tire marks and picking up the coating at turns.
- Can I use this checklist in RTI?
- Yes. Start a free RTI workspace, build this list as a checklist, and the Photo Gate holds the submit button until every mandatory item is answered and its photos are attached. Approved inspections roll into a branded turnover package with a tamper-evident audit trail.
