The document defines key terms related to quality control and quality assurance in construction projects. It outlines the quality system, which incorporates processes to ensure project outputs meet requirements. It also describes the QA/QC manual, which focuses on implementation and quality control of construction works. The manual provides guidelines for inspections, testing, responsibilities and documentation to ensure quality standards are satisfied.
Qaqc in civil construction
- 1. QUALITY DEFINITION: Quality control (QC): The operational techniques or a system of maintaining standards by reviewing, checking, inspecting and testing. Quality Assurance (QA): The planned and systematic actions and implementations necessary to provide adequate confidence that the work will satisfy quality requirements
- 2. • Quality System (QS): A set of documented processes, which seek to provide satisfaction that the project outputs will fulfill all the requirements for which it is being planned. The Quality System should fully incorporate the organization, human resources, materials, equipments, processes, inspections, testing and other parameters of the project. A key element of QS is the QA/QC Manual
- 3. • Quality Surveillance • : This normally covers two aspects. • At the project level, a review is required to ensure that the quality practices are implemented and documented to ensure in relation to the quality system. • At the contract package level, inspection and testing is required to ensure that the works executed meet the required quality standards.
- 4. QA/QC MANUAL This QA/QC Manual focuses on the implementation activities of the project following contract award, primarily on supervision and quality control of construction works It will provide a base outline towards, procedure, responsibilities, compliance acceptance criteria and documentation for carrying out inspection, testing and reporting on various materials, The QA/QC Manual for the Construction activity does not attempt to suggest technical specifications, since these are stated in the contract documents
- 5. • Key Parameters Of Quality Assurance • Site documents • Mandatory and optional testing • Availability of field and departmental laboratories • Manufacturing test certificates • Departmental team inspections • Checklist guide for works • Site inspections • Post quality testing of finished works • Quality certification • Monthly reporting and review meetings
- 6. • HEALTH SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT • Display of Notices • Warning tape, lighting arrangement at location of any excavated trench, electrical installation or mechanical erection. • Fire Prevention and Protection • Environment & Health • House Keeping • Lighting • Monsoon Precaution • Noise and Vibration • Personnel protective equipment (PPE) for field staff
- 7. • Designs/Drawings for contract • Maintain design / drawing register at site • Use only approved drawings for construction • • Test laboratory and equipment • Intimate the details, date of completion with requisite manufacturers’ and calibration certificates of equipments. • Maintain the equipments in good condition and calibrate as necessary • • Material receipts Materials testing • Enter receipts in material register • Materials to be tested only in approved laboratories • Prepare concrete mix proportions as per volume as required by contract and submit test results • Take test samples in presence of QCwhen requested • Perform material tests • Submit test reports to QCwith monthly reports
- 8. • Rejected materials • Entries to be made in material register at site • Tag and record all rejected materials • Intimate QCin writing the proposed date of removal of material from site and confirm after removal • • Material consumption • Enter daily consumption of materials in material register and indicate balance quantity • • Construction equipment • Intimate ownerthe details, date of mobilization along with requisite insurance certificate • Maintain equipments in good working condition • Intimate breakdown of construction equipments •
- 9. Construction • • Intimate owner in writing when construction is going to commence and what activities are proposed to be undertaken • Intimate owner in advance when critical works, such as concreting, embankment, paving, pipeline laying and jointing, testing, etc., would be undertaken, along with the test certificates of the materials proposed to be used in these works. No critical activity shall start unless the material is tested. Certificates are verified and approved by the Engineer. • Concreting to take place only after pour card is signed. • To provide any other necessary QA/QC requirement. •
- 10. • Daily work progress • To maintain in daily log. • • Testing of works in progress • Perform tests as per contract requirements. • Submit test reports to QC • Maintain test log during the execution of works. •
- 11. • Rejected work items • Intimate GPWSC/DWSS in writing the proposed date of removal from site and confirm after removal. • Rectify defective work and invite QC for re- inspection. • • Instructions from Engineer • Enter change orders, site instructions, letter and minutes of meetings issued by the Engineer and Consultants in the Instruction Log. •
- 12. • Inspection of Engineer • Take instructions in Site Order Book. • Intimate QCof compliance. • • Progress scheduling and control • Prepare and maintain project schedules and undertake work in accordance with approved schedule. • • Reporting • Prepare and submit Monthly Progress Reports and other reports as per contractual requirements. • •
- 13. • Records Maintain the following records on Site/Contractor’s Office/Laboratory as given in Annexure C. • Site Order book • Material Register • Daily Progress Report. • Concrete pour Register • Test Record • Design &Drawing Record • Non conforming item record • Cube test record • • Workmanship All the work executed against the contract shall be of good workmanship. • Disposal Of Debris All the Debris should be disposed of properly after completion of construction work.
- 19. Engineer’s Diary
- 20. Sample Register • The register can consist of a ruled book which has columns ruled vertically, headed in sequence from the left to right across both pages as follows: • Col. 1. Sample number • 2. Source • 3. Location • 4. Description (brief only) • 5. Depth • 6. Date taken • 7. Where tested • 8. Remarks/references
- 21. • Construction Quality Control (CQC) is intended to provide a comprehensive, common and consistent framework for quality control across various contract packages. CQC comprises two main elements of quality control: • Testing • Inspections
- 22. CQC should be affected at five stages: • Input Materials and Equipment Components • In-process Activities • Stage Completion • Interfacing (of special importance in water and sewerage contract packages) • Final completion • The contractor is responsible for informing EIC giving sufficient notice time so that they can witness the tests.
