==Construction Inspection Tasks==
Construction inspections take place during several points in the construction sequence, specific to the type of LID BMP, but at a minimum should be done '''weekly''' and include the following:
# During site preparation, prior to BMP installation to ensure the roof structure is ready for green roof construction work and confirm that BMP layout area matches approved design drawings and that construction materials meet design specifications
# After installation of leak detection system (if applicable) to ensure it was done properly
# At installation of water-proofing membrane, prior to installation of root barrier, drainage layer and overflow outlets to ensure it was done properly and to confirm that slopes are acceptable
# After installation of root barrier, drainage layer (including filter fabric/layer) and overflow outlets, prior to installation of growing medium and plants to ensure it was done properly and confirm that depth and slopes are acceptable
# After installation of growing medium layer and plants to ensure it was done properly and to confirm depth, slopes and elevations at overflow outlets are acceptable; After installation of irrigation system to confirm system is functioning
# Prior to hand-off points in the construction sequence when the contractor responsible for the work changes (i.e., hand-offs between the building and green roof installation contractors)
# After every large storm event (e.g., 15 mm rainfall depth or greater) to ensure roof drainage or flow diversion devices are functioning and adequately maintained.  You can also download and print the table [https://wikidev.sustainabletechnologies.ca/images/6/6b/LID-IM-Guide-7.6-Green-Roofs.pdf '''here''']<br>
