QUALITY ASSURANCE
I.1

INTRODUCTION

Planning and controlling standards for quality are fundamental in both the
design and construction phases of a project. This aspect of a project, while
closely interrelated with costs, schedule, procurement, and value
engineering, deserves its own amplification.
This sheet begins with a definition of Quality Assurance. It will then
describe the different Quality Assurance flow diagrams presenting clear
steps for achieving the required quality standards. Then there will be brief
working procedures of different items, test descriptions, quality standards
and quality controls. Allocation of responsibility is equally important for
attaining required quality standards and hence it describes the
responsibility of different key personals and organizational break down
structures near the end for clear understanding of line of command or flow
of information. A brief description of inspection and frequency of testing to
be performed presented at the end will be valuable controls for assuring
required quality standards.
I.2

DEFINITIONS

Quality Assurance - It involves the use of all standards and

procedures to ensure that a product or a facility meets or exceeds desired
performance criteria. It also usually includes the documentation necessary
to verify that all steps in the procedures have been satisfactorily
completed.
Quality assurance is all the planned and systematic activities
implemented within the quality system to provide confidence that the
project will satisfy the relevant quality standards and it should be provided
throughout the project.

ORGANIZATION BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE

Human resource is the key factor for controlling other resources in any
industry or in any business environment. Properly organized and managed
human resources produce the best output results. As both contracts as in
continuous alignment we are intended to work with single management
which has been even approved by the Engineer. In this project, a Quality
Control engineer will be appointed for the project period and he will be
fully responsible for maintaining the overall quality of materials and work.
He will visit site and laboratories frequently. Though laboratory
establishment is being our obligation, we will have own lab technician,
who will record all tests at site and collect documents. Quality control
during construction and store entry and storing of materials is equally on
site and the line of command will be as shown in the OBS Fig. 5. Similarly,
experienced storekeepers will be appointed so that they will be fully aware
of storing the materials and checking before entry. The OBS for the store is
shown in Fig 2. However, the overall responsibility of quality goes to the
Contractors representative and he will issue the necessary instructions
for maintaining quality standards time to time.
