How to prepare a daily report for pipeline laying ?

The following points should be kept in mind while preparing the daily report of the pipeline:

1. First of all, we should make a drawing according to the direction on which the pipeline is being laid.
2. We should also note down the location of the pipeline jointer.
3. We should also note the length of the concrete cut in the excavation of the pipeline. Apart from this, we should also note the thickness of the concrete.
4. The location of the place where the stones come out in the excavation of the pipeline should also be noted.
5. We have to note the total length of the pipeline in the last.
