Quality Management Plan
1. Introduction
- This document constitutes the Quality Plan of Supply and Apply Reinforced Concrete
for Isolated Footing and it is an appendix to the project plan.
a. Purpose and objectives
- Quality Management in the R.C Footing assures the quality of the R.C Footing
deliverables and the quality of the processes and procedures used to manage and
develop the deliverable of the activity.
- The purpose of this document is to describe the necessary information required to
manage the quality of R.C Footing from planning to delivery, roles and
responsibilities, and the Quality Management approach to ensure that the quality
objectives are achieved.
b. Reviews and approval
- This Quality Plan is to be continually reviewed, and any changes to the plan will be
handled by the project's procedure for Change Management.
- The plan is approved by the Project Manager.
2. Quality Objectives
- The Quality Objectives for Quality Management in R.C Footing are to assure that:
▪ Activity deliverables meet their stated requirements.
▪ Project Management processes are appropriately followed.
3. Quality Management Approach
- The quality management approach is about to ensure that all personnel in the project
"does the right things, right, the first time". Thus, avoiding misunderstandings of what
to produce and how, resulting in productivity losses, quality losses and schedule
delays.
- This is going to be achieved by
▪ Early identification and reviews of all quality-impacting documents.
▪ Reviews of all quality-impacting documents.
▪ Using the well-defined and anchored quality standards and procedures
already in use for each work package.
▪ Using Customer Satisfaction as a Quality Control tool.
4. Quality Control
a. Project deliverables
- Listed below is the activity in sequence for the R.C Footing:
1. Footing layout sheet of structural drawing shows dimension related to grid
line to place the footing on Plain Concrete.
2. Make form for the footing as specified size. You can use wooden shutter or
steel shutter for this purpose.
3. Cut the steel reinforcement as required sizes and provide L-bend as shown in
the structural drawing.
4. It is very important to maintain concrete clear cover not only in footing but
also in all RCC members. Provide required cover block in bottom and sides
of footing to keep the reinforcing net in position.
5. Neck column reinforcement should be placed before pouring concrete into
footing.
6. Pouring Concrete using ready-mix concrete if the concrete volume is large,
otherwise you can cast your footing with machine mix concrete. In that case
you have to order and stacked the required concrete ingredients on the job-
site before.
7. On the next day remove the form of footing. If any small honeycomb appears
on footing’s surface repair those properly.
5. Quality Assurance
a. Contractual Requirements
- The quality assurance requirements base in our contract specification are the
following:
1. Check the sizes of the reinforcing bars, the grades of steel, and its spacing if
it conforms to the structural plan and specifications. Check as well the codes.
2. check the credibility and the bracing of the formworks. See to it that its
dimension and depth is as per design.
3. check the tools, equipment, and manpower needed respectively. See to it you
are using the correct concrete strength design.
4. check in advance the route of concrete trucks mixers.
b. Critical Works
- The critical works will be in
▪ Being ensure that the formworks is well strengthen before pouring concrete.
▪ Being ensure that the Vibration is ready to use during pouring Concrete.
c. Inspection & Testing
i. During Pouring:
- Slump test: It is performed to check the workability and measure the consistency of
fresh concrete before it sets.
ii. After Pouring:
- Load Test: (compressive strength test) is a measure of the concrete's ability to resist
loads which tend to compress it.
- Ultrasonic plus velocity: it is non-destructive test to check the quality of concrete
and shows if it contains cracks or voids or not.
- Schmid Hammer: is a device to measure the elastic properties or strength
of concrete.
d. Request for Inspection (RFI)
- Request for Inspection of Work (RFI) shall be issued to RC Field Engineer 24 hours
in advance. RFI forms shall be issued.
e. Follow up & Evaluation
- We intend to follow up and evaluate our work by taking records of our
accomplishment in RC footing daily in order to evaluate if the existing equipment
and manpower is capable of completing the activity on time. In the event base from
our daily records the existing resources cannot complete in time additional resources
shall be added to the existing in order to accomplish it on time.
6. Roles and responsibilities
a. Construction Manager
- will be the one to plan and coordinate all the activity in the site and he will be
responsible for coordinating with other contractor working in the area.
b. Site Engineer –
- will be the one to implement the instruction of the Construction Manager in the site,
he will also directly supervise constantly the manpower and equipment working in
the area and implement all safety regulation and precaution set by the safety
personnel.
c. Quality Control Inspector
- Will be the one to inspect and monitor the Activity deliverables meet their stated
requirements.
d. Supervisor –
- Will be the one to supervise and assign the works as per schedule.
e. Technician –
- Will be the one to do Vibration by the aid of Vibrator during pouring Concrete.
7. Tools
- The list below describes the tools that will be used to help in managing and controlling
quality on RC Footing activity.
