CONSTRUCTION QUALITY CONTROL & MONITORING

(Course Code: 3360602) Under

the Guidance of

SHRI V. S. RAJPUT
LECTURER IN CIVIL
DR. S. & S. S. GHANDHY COLLEGE OF
ENGG. AND TECH., SURAT
AIM:-
 Visit a construction project site and discuss different quality control and
monitoring measure being employed by them.
OBJECTIVE:-
 To get the knowledge of Materials and machinery’s used at construction site.
 To get the knowledge of quality control managed at the construction site.
 To observe the activities take place at construction site.
 Beside the knowledge which we get from theory to know about the
implementation in quality control in to be done in site.
BASIC SITE INFORMATION:-
1) Site title:- Construction of civil engineering collage building (diploma) at DR.
S.&SS Gandhy collage of engineering and technology, majuragate, surat.
2) Estimate cost:- 8.35 cr.
3) Contractor name:- Manish bhai
4) Engineer name:- Kishan bhai
5) Supervisor:- Lalbhai
6) Starting project from:- 02/01/2023
7) Duration time:- 1.5 years
8) Type of construction:- Institutional building
OBSERVATION:-
 Sand:- Sand used for construction is of narmada and sometimes they use sand
of Cikhli.
 Course aggregate:- Size of course aggregate is 10-12mm which is brought from
Cikhli.
 Cement:- OPC cement is used in construction.
(Ordinary Portland Cement)
▪ Company- JK Laxmi.
▪ Grade of cement is 53.
 Concrete grade:- M25 Concrete grade is used.
 Water:- Boring water is used for making of concrete.
 Footing:- According to design, contractor is using two types of footing.
1) Step footing (3x3.2x0.4m)
 2) Combined footing (3x5.8x0.9m)
 Reinforcement:- Concrete has used-Grade Fe500 TMT bar of Jintel german
25mm dia. And 20mm dia. Are used in columns. And 8mm dia. For stirrups.
 Column:- There are column shape used at construction site.
1) Rectangular column (300x750mm)

2) Circular column:-

 Activites on site during visit:- Back hoe is used for the excavation of
foundation. Bering capacity of back hoe is 15.41 ton/m3. Depth of excavation
is 3.6m types of yellow soil.
  Planning is carried out for the removal of honey combing.
 For maintain concrete quality they made 15x15x15 in cm cube and testing the
compressive strength test. Which is done by bhumi research laboratory.
 Bhumi research
 M.tach
 Overall 3 testing laboratory
STRENGTH:-
 Duration of work is within a expected time.
 Construction is under control of Gujarat government (Road and Building
Department).
 Contractors working at site is also of government control.

WEAKNESS:-
 Safety measure at construction site is very less.
 Duration of curing is not oppropriate or very less.
 Honeycomb is occurred because of very bad compaction process.
  The soil which is excavated for footing is dumped at site only.
REMARK:-
 Contractor should increase a safety parameter at site.
 Instead of using boring water they should use potable water to make concrete
for batter strength.
 Contractor should increase the days of curing, so that crackes does not occur in
concrete.
