Construction Management:
Construction Management refers to the study and practice of the managerial and technological aspects of the construction industry Construction manager has to do project planning , cost management , safety
Definition
Quality control (QC): Is the ongoing, comprehensive, independent checking and verification of those activities, which lead to a final product that meets or exceeds the Departments requirements. Quality Assurance (QA): Is all those actions necessary to provide confidence that the Departments Quality Control process has occurred
In large organization separate departments are formed . Specific Individuals are assigned with these functions on small projects. In both the cases project manager is concerned for the work.
Exhaustive or 100%percnt; testing of all materials and work by inspectors can be exceedingly expensive
As a result, small samples are used to establish the basis of accepting or rejecting a particular work item
Statistical methods are used to interpret the results of test on a small sample to reach a conclusion .
OJECTIVES OF QA PLAN Describe the quality program and organization to be implemented so that the project is constructed in accordance with the contract requirements and industry standards; Describe guidelines for inspection and documentation of construction activities; Provide reasonable assurance that the completed work will meet or exceed the requirements of the construction drawings and specifications.
QC Testing:
As required by the contract specifications, the contractor shall establish a test program To ensure that all required testing is properly identified, planned, documented and performed under controlled and suitable environmental conditions, including cleanliness
QA Testing:
The CQAO will be responsible for the QA materials sampling and testing program. QA testing is provided for the verification of the adequacy and effectiveness of the contractors QC testing

SALIENT FEATURES OF THE PROJECT:
Type of project : Infrastructure Type of contract : Built operate transfer (BOT) End use of project : Road transportation Owner/ Authority : National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) Concessionaire : M/s IDAA infrastructure Ltd. Contractor : M/s IRB Infrastructures Pvt Ltd Independent Consultant : M/s STUP consultants Pvt Ltd PMC : M/s NAC designs Pvt Ltd Date of signing of concession agreement: 7th July 2006 Date of starting: 7thJanuary 2007 Construction Time frame: 30 months Intended date of completion: 6th July 2009 Concession period: 15 years
Most important documentary evidence for a work executed by the contractor is RFI .It is a
detail sheet of all aspects of works executed.
Along with the RFI, documents pertaining to levels, formwork, inspection checklists, material test results, Concrete pour card, Stressing and grouting records, material consumption records, comments of independent and engineering consultant.
MATERIAL TESTING One of the important aspects of quality management is quality of materials. And for maintaining a regular check on quality of material a field laboratory housing all the necessary tools and equipments becomes a must on large scale projects. Regular testing of all materials is required as the batches of supply keep on changing and the ultimate quality of the structure is highly dependant on quality and properties of the used
material.
FIELD LABORATORY
For testing properties and quality of materials used and for other quality checks on
SPECIFICATIONS
All the Materials shall be tested and incorporated in the works by the contractor after obtaining the approval of the engineer (PMC Consultants) The Contractor shall arrange to provide fully furnished and adequately equipped field laboratory constructed near the site. The field laboratory shall preferably be located adjacent to the site office of the Engineer
MATERIALS Testing procedures for materials are as follows a).Soil Tests conducted on Soil are as follows: 1. Grain size distribution 2. Liquid and Plastic limit 3. California bearing test 4.
