The Project Manager at the site develops a comprehensive Field Quality Plan based on the following guidelines:
Quality Requirement: Upon contract award, the Project Manager identifies customer quality control needs, collaborates with the owner's engineer, and finalizes quality control requirements specified in the contract.
Testing Laboratory: A fully equipped quality control laboratory is established for testing purchased materials and on-site construction works, as per predetermined quality requirements. Testing is conducted regularly on received batches, with random samples collected and tested to ensure adherence to relevant codes and specifications.
Manpower Deployment: A qualified Quality Control (Q/C) technician/engineer oversees the implementation of the quality control plan. They are responsible for material testing, work inspections, and ensuring adherence to the Q/C plan by field staff. Compilation of all reports and formats is their responsibility, submitted to the Owner. Field staff are provided with the Field Quality Plan as a guideline for executing quality control measures.
Preparation of Formats/Registers for Record: Relevant formats from the company's Q/C booklet are completed, and checklists are maintained at regular intervals. Documentation is submitted to the owner/consultant according to agreed-upon guidelines.
Identification of Customer Hold Points: Work stages in the field proceed only after adherence to Q/C measures. Customer hold points are established to ensure major work items are executed only after obtaining prior approval from the owner/consultant.
Deviation: Any discrepancies between results and acceptable limits are promptly communicated to the owner. Discussions are held to resolve such issues mutually. Unacceptable work is rejected and rectified or removed as agreed upon.
