4) Periodic inspection and maintenance measure:Periodic inspection is to be caused on walking along the road in stretches, and not traveling in vehicle.
Quality assurances commences at the very beginning of planning the project.
i)
Preparation of DPR- Fixation of P.B.M. tied with G.T.S. and checking the design of Geometric
standard. The DPR is to be checked so as to ensure that provision made in the DPR would meet
up the requirement in the project, Moreover it reflects the ground realities too.
ii) Bridges:- It is to be seen whether H, DATA have been correctly collected or not, Prior to collection
of DATA one permanent B.M. is to be fixed at safe location tied with G.T.S. and subsequent data
should be based on this, Moreover corresponding railway bridges H. DATA need to be collected
and compare with it.
After finalization of span arrangement, the location of Bore holes along with R.L. of termination
of Boring is to be finalized and thereof SSI work is to be awarded to.
iii) Contract:- Prior to issue of notice inviting tender, the specification being incorporated in is to be
thoroughly checked in order to ensure the accomplishment of intended purpose of the project.
The choice of equipment to be deployed for execution of different component is to be finalized at
N.I.T. Level itself.
5) Inspection and quality control:- Checking of profile of the road to be constructed is to be done
with respect to designed profile. The setting of Horizontal curves is to be checked at site along
with toe line..
Materials:- Sources of different materials as mentioned in DPR are to be identified and quality of
materials against each source is to be ascertained to.
(i)
Soil for building embankment:- Tests to be conducted, are sieve analysis, Atterberg limits (LL,
PL) Dry density & C.B.R. and these tests are to be also conducted for G.S.B. construction.
ii)
Stone Aggregate:- W.B.M:- Impact, Flakiness test, water absorption, specific gravity, Gradation
& soundness test if needed.
iii) P.C. & Seal Coat:- Grading, Impact, Flakiness test, water absorption specific
gravity, stripping value, Bulk Density.
iv) Bituminous materials:- Straight run bitumen- penetration, softening point,
ductility, specific gravity, viscosity.
v) Emulsion- Emulsion test as per IS 8887-2004.
Design:- Design of GSB, such as gradation and degree of compaction is to be
finalized & similarly mix design of bituminous mixes is to be finalized prior to
execution.
6. Bridges:- The centre line X-X & Y-Y direction is to be fixed in the line of G.A.D.
and B.M. is to be verified. Source of coarse as well as fine aggregate is to be
located and properties of the same are to be ascertained. Thereafter mix design for
control concrete is to be finalized. After that weigh batcher, slump cone, etc are to
be brought to the site, If subsequent change in source of material, grade and make
of cement becomes unavoidable, fresh design of mix is to be done.
Quality Policy:- The overall quality intensions and direction to be issued to the
organization, as would be expressed by top management.
Quality Management:- The quality is the body management that determines and
implements the quality policy. The basic parameters of quality management are:i) The arrangement of desired quality, requires the commitment and participations of
all members of the organization whereas the responsibility for quality managements
belongs to top management.
ii) Quality managements includes strategic planning, allocation of recourses, quality
planning operation and evaluation of the product.
7. Requirements set out in the project should reflect need of road users.
i) For effectiveness, the quality assurances usually requires a continuing evaluation
of factors that affect the adequacy of the design or specification as well as
verification and audit of production, installation and inspection operation. One senior
executive expresses thus In fact our attitude towards quality is perfunctory.
We senior are responsible for poor quality of the product. In the beginning we insist for adherence to quality
but later on tell the same worker to produce the targeted out turn even ignoring the quality.
ii) The Other short-coming in quality assurance is the impression crated in quality control staff is that for any
lapse in quality control and subsequent processing of data to assurance quality, the staff on duty would be
accountable, This factor often compels them to manufacturer the data which satisfy the norms. But it puts
question mark to integrity of the data. Clear picture immerges only when certain portion fails prematurely,
otherwise it speaks of bright performances.
