1.4
Quality Assessment System for Completed Road Works was designed and developed to
enable the user to achieve all/any of the following objectives:
1.5
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
The Quality Assessment System for Completed Road Works is intended to complement
the best engineering practices, contractual drawings and specifications in a project. It is
not intended to be used independently as working specifications.
The qualified person shall not use the Quality Assessment System for Completed Road
Works as a design standard and/or to decide if the road or parts of the road works are in
accordance with the relevant Specifications and by-laws.
It is still the responsibility of the qualified person to ensure that the quality of the
Completed Road Works conform to approved standards, best practices, specifications and
drawings.
Where accessible and practical, all elements identified in this standard shall be assessed.
1.6
The standard sets out the quality of workmanship for the various aspects of the
construction elements for the general road works. The Quality Assessment System for
Completed Road Works covers five main components: Road Surface, Slope & Retaining
Structure, Drainage, Bridge & Other Structures and Traffic/Road Furniture.
Assessments on the workmanship are carried out based on this standard and marks are
awarded if the workmanship complies with the standards. These marks are then summed
up to give a total score (%) for the road works.
However, the assessment excludes works and tests carried out in pre construction and
during construction works. The road is assessed primarily on workmanship standard
achieved through site inspection and field non-destructive testing.
1.7
Assessment Approach
Assessment of the quality of workmanship is carried out upon completion of the road
project and preferably, before the road is opened to traffic. This is to ensure that any noncompliance to specific standards is purely based on quality of construction and not from
wear and tear of the completed road. The assessor shall inspect and assess the identified
samples against the standard and tolerance using the tools specified.
Prior to conducting each assessment, the assessor determines the number of samples
and locations to be assessed. The number of samples and locations are selected from
drawings and plans. The selected samples shall be distributed as uniformly as possible
throughout the project length. All locations shall be made available for sample
determination.
The assessment shall only be limited to this pre-determined sample size and location and
is done on the work that is inspected for the first time. Rectification and correction carried
out after the quality assessment will not be re-scored. The objective of this practice is to
encourage contractors towards doing things right the first time and every time.
The assessment shall be recorded using the site assessment forms as shown in Annex F
to Annex K. An objective yes () or no (x) assessment approach is adopted to indicate
compliance or non compliance of the assessed component and its respective elements. A
- is given to indicate if the element is not available for assessment. The quality score is
computed based on the number of over the total number of elements assessed.
Components
The Quality Standards for Completed Road Works are divided into five main components:2.1.1
Road Surface
The ultimate function of a road is to transport people and goods from one place to another
efficiently with a desirable comfort and level of safety.
A road can only serve its function and achieve its designed life if the actual construction is
properly done, all the paving materials are of the required standards and meet the required
design specifications.
Because the road surface is in direct contact with road users, it is considered the most
important component in assessing the quality of a completed road works. The road
surface component is further divided into three elements namely carriageway, shoulder &
verge and median.
The carriageway is the part of the road where most vehicles are travelling on. The
shoulder & verge is the part of the road which is adjacent to the carriageway. Vehicle
would not normally use this part of the road as the shoulder act as the emergency lane.
Thus the road shoulder is given less importance than the road carriageway. The median is
the center part which serves as separator between carriageways.
The elements are assessed in terms of its riding quality, safety and aesthetics as detailed
in Annex A.
2.1.2
The slope and retaining structure component considered in this standard is only applicable
to the structure that is visible after construction.
The functional performance of the slope & retaining structure component has an influence
on the safety as well as the comfort of the road user. This component is divided into five
(5) main elements: slope (rigid, soft surface cover, rock), retaining structure, slope
drainage (surface and subsurface), above ground services and slope furniture.
These elements are assessed in terms of its defect groups such as crack & damage, joint,
fillers and gaps, functionality, finishing and installations as detailed in Annex B.
2.1.3
Drainage
2.1.4
The bridge and other structures should be constructed according to approved standards to
ensure structural integrity. Repair and rectification works should be avoided as this tends
to be very costly, not to mention the inconvenience to the road users.
The bridges and other structures component are grouped into the different bridge/structure
types: above ground structures (such as road bridges, pedestrian/motorcycle bridges) and
special structures (such as underpass/vehicular box culverts and tunnels). Each of these
bridges/structures is further assessed in terms of its respective elements as detailed in
Annex D.
For special structures such as tunnels, where practical and accessible, the assessment
shall include all visible elements such as structural, mechanical, electrical, emergency
response and fire protection system. Assessment of these elements shall be by visual
inspection of its physical conditions and system operational.
2.1.5
The Traffic / Road Furniture ideally cover a wide range of physical fixtures and markings of
a road. For the purpose of this standard and for practicality of implementation, this
component has been streamlined to only cover elements that will have a direct impact to
the traffic operations and flow of a completed road.
The elements covered in this standard are: pavement markings, traffic calming devices,
traffic signs, electrical devices, pedestrian facilities, kerbs, traffic barriers and delineators.
These elements are assessed in term of crack & damage, functionality, visibility, finishings
and installation as detailed in Annex E.
2.2
Elements
For each of the components identified, the elements to be assessed are identified
accordingly to facilitate practical assessment and scoring system. The elements and some
examples of the type of elements are summarized in Table 3.

SECTION 3: ASSESSMENT
The assessment for the completed road work is carried out through a statistical and sampling
approach.
3.1
Road Weightage
The road weightage for all components are allocated in accordance to the five road
categories. The weightage system is aimed to provide an objective score corresponding
to workmanship quality.
This weightage is developed based on the drivers visual perception and the component
ability to provide comfort, safety, and assistance (i.e. control) to the driver. It is deemed
that each component will have different level of relevance for the different road
categories, hence the different weightage as shown in Table 5.

Sampling
As it may be impractical to assess the whole length of the road projects, a sampling
1
approach is recommended. The sample size is developed from the Statistical formula of:
n
where,
n =
N =
=
N
1 + N ()
Sample Size
Total Length of Road in meters / Total Numbers of Elements
Margin of error, the risk/error the assessor is willing to accept,
generally this is 5%
12
To determine an economical and practical sample size, a range of value was tested as
follows:
Low
Option
Medium
High
N (m)
1000
1000
1000
10%
6.5%
2.5%
9%
19%
62%
From the above range, it is reasonable to adopt a minimum sample size of 20% or a
minimum of one (1) complete sample. The maximum sample limit shall be determined
by the assessor based on economic and practical considerations.
As a further guideline, the assessor may adopt a minimum or a maximum sample size as
follows:
For roads less than 1 km in length, the whole section shall be assessed.
For roads where most elements are available, a minimum sample size of 20% is
sufficient
For roads with limited elements, the following practical sample size is
recommended:

NOTE:
The highest weightage is given to the carriageway element as traffic travels on the road carriageway. Therefore,
it is imperative that the carriageway is of the highest quality for functionality and safety reasons. The road
shoulder acts as the emergency lane and is given a lower weightage. The lowest is given to the median which
do not carry any traffic.
3.3.2
A weightage for the Slope and Retaining Structure component is not applicable as each of the
elements is equally relevant in determining the functionality of the slope. The Quality Score
will be based on the number of compliance over the total number of elements assessed.
3.3.3
Drainage
The surface and underground drainage are equally relevant in its functionality and are given
equal weightage. However, each drainage elements are weighted based on its functionality.
For the purpose of the assessment, pipe/box culvert of less than 1.2m in diameter will only be
visually inspected at the inlet and outlet of the culvert. Whereas pipe/box culvert of 1.2m or
bigger in diameter shall be assessed on all the practical and accessible elements.

3.3.4
The two (2) elements of this component (i.e. bridges and special structures) are equally
weighted as each is equally important in its functionality. However, each of the bridge and
other structural elements are weighted based on its functionality.

Assessment Scoring
The quality score of the completed road project is computed based on the number of
compliance over the total number of elements assessed and is recorded in the Quality scoring
form as shown in Figure 3.
The total number of compliance and total number of item assessed as recorded in the site
assessment form are summarised in the quality scoring form. The Quality Score for each
component is calculated as follows:
Quality
Score
where,
Total Compliance
X 100%
Total Assessed
n = number of components
In the event that each element of a component is weightaged, the Quality Score is calculated
as follow:
Quality
Score
where,
Total Compliance
Total Assessed

Total Actual Weightage
X 100%
n = number of components
The actual weightage is recalculated to take into account items that are not applicable for the
specific project.
The quality score of each component are further weightage according to the respective road
categories to derive the QLASSIC Score as follow:
