Documentation should clearly capture the non-conforming condition, objective adhesion test data, and the recommended drying and repair actions. Moisture-related delamination means the bond between fireproofing and substrate has been compromised by moisture, so recording what failed and how to fix it is essential. Include the area or system affected, the test method and results (adhesion strength, pass/fail status, and the failure mode), environmental conditions during testing, and a drying plan with target conditions and duration. Also document the proposed remediation steps (surface preparation, re-application of fireproofing per manufacturer specifications, compatible materials, and curing requirements) and a plan for verification after drying and repair (re-testing, photos, location map). Attach relevant photos, moisture readings, and dates to ensure traceability and accountability. This approach provides the necessary evidence of condition, method, and actions, and is more thorough than a general safety incident report, a purchase order, or a memo noting moisture without testing.
