Quality Assurance (QA)

Managerial methods designed to plan, monitor and control to assure the Quality of all the processes such that the end product satisfies the desired properties.

carry out random tests during preconstruction, construction and post construction stages.

Quality Assurance (QA)

Eliminates poor services and induces greater professionalism in the process, instills public confidence and acceptance. Avoids inefficiency and litigation.

Eliminates the interferiences.

Quality Management benifits

Quality of the design process Quality of the construction process Quality of the products Quality of maintenance.

Frequency of visits-concrete
Based on the type and importance of the work. 1 No---material pre construction 1no- Reinforcement for each component 1no-For concreting of each component. 1no- Columns at each staging. 2nospost construction.

Frequency of visits-pipelines
Material testing ------Factory Laying &Joiting. 1no---- 1km upto 200 mm dia 1no----.50Km upto 500 mm dia 1no----.25 Km beyond 500mm dia. Hydraulic test; 1no on Average 5 kms

Testing - Cores
In case of doubt regarding the

comp.strength tests on cores and/or load test shall be carried out. Core tests: the ave. equivalent cube
strength of the cores is equal to at least 85% of the cube strength of the grade of concrete specified for the corresponding age and no individual core has strength less than 75%

Acceptance criteria- CC Roads

The Test results of the sample variation is more than + 15% of the average,the test results of the sample are invalid. The mean strength results complies with the appropriate limits in col.2 of table 11 of IS:4562000 Any individual test result complies with the appropriate limits in col.3 of Table 11 of IS:4562000

Payment in case of deficiency in thickness CC roads

Up to 5mm 6-10mm 11-15mm More than 15mm 100% of rate 87% of rate 81% of rate Rejection

A days work is considered for thickness. If average deficiency is more than 15mm identified by cores, such slabs shall be Removed by contractor.

Acceptance/Recovery-CC slab
Mastic pads not used/defective material used- Deduction of twice/equal to cost of mastic pads . Joint sealing not done.Deduction of twice/equal to cost of joint sealant. Failure of CC cubes- payment based on core tests at the cost of contractor @2 cores/150cum of Progressive surface damage-Withholding payment until defects liability period.

Oversize above 20%- Rejection

Acceptance criteria-WBM roads

Verify for over size Verify density of metal in an area of 0.50 m x 0.50 m for each layer In respect of thickness and less quantity in gravel and WBM layers, a maximum tolerance of 20% may be allowed In respect of recoveries upto 10%, estimate cost is to be recovered From 11 to 20%, 1 times estimate cost is to be recovered

Acceptance criteria-WBM roads-Contd.

Over size metal upto 10% - no reecovery Over size metal 10%to20% - recovery at 25% of difference in basic cost of metal and the next higher size metal Over size of metal between 30% to 40% - Rate of next higher size metal shall be allowed Over size metal above 40% - Rejection of metal

Acceptance criteria-Bituminous layers

A maximum of 10% variation may be allowed in respect of less thickness and less quantity Deficient thickness upto 10%-Estimate cost is to be recovered Deficient thickness above 10%- Rejection of the layer Bitumen content deficient upto 0.30%by weight of the total mix- Recovery of cost of bitumen for reduced quantity Bitumen content deficient by more than 0.30%Rejection of the work.
