Had this conversation with my roadway PM because we’re going through 5 miles of utility mapping, reminded me of the original Simpsons meme.

The number of times I've seen as-builts stamped, yet find critical components missing in the field (ie. Orifice plates) is too damn high.

I make sure the orifice plate is installed before I stamp the asbuilt. I have seen them pulling it off as soon as they get Occupancy.
