QUALITY ASSURANCE PROGRAMME
METHOD STATEMENTS
INTRODUCTION:
Building industry today has progressed a long way. With progress there is a healthy competition and
more focus has to be given to customer satisfaction. The customer satisfaction mainly comes from the
quality of the product, timely delivery and economy. As we are mainly in the business of construction
of housing and commercial complexes it should be out prime concern to provide our customers with
trouble free housing or commercial premises which require minimum maintenance and give adequate
structural safely to the occupants and their belongings.
This manual on Quality Assurance Programme (QAP) defines the QA system, procedures and fixes
responsibility in the implementation of the programme. In order to have clarity in the objectives and
results of QA this manual will be the main source of information for our entire team of Engineers,
Supervisors and Technicians.
We strongly believe that well engineered designs, specifications and construction practices, good
training and motivation of supervisory and work force, effective and timely supervision, proper
workmanship, diagnostic and proving tests and critical inspections are essentials for achieving and
sustaining good quality of work on our projects. With concerted efforts at all levels & proper inputs
from our consultants, TUV INDIA PVT LTD & MSM/CIVIL/INFRA/01 can upgrade their leading role in
the Building industry in India. It is therefore obligatory for all responsible for execution of various
projects to ensure that highest standards of quality are aimed at and achieved.
The role of managerial staff in training and motivating the supervisory staff and work forces towards
this end need hardly be emphasized. QA involves inter-department/inter disciplinary co-operation of
engineers and supervisors and necessitates familiarity with, and training in, such techniques and
procedures for effective control and accomplishment. This Method statement will be reviewed and
revised from time to time as various jobs progress based on the inputs at all level. Some additions and
modifications will be necessary as new methods, new materials and new practices are adopted by our
organization.

joint in the surface top course shall be at the centerlineof final pavements surface.
 Transverse joints in one course shall be offset by at least 3 m fromtransverse joints in the
previous course. Special care is required to avoid longitudinal pavement construction joints
along the car gear wheel path.
 Any irregularities such as unevenness and/or deficient thickness that appear (before initial
compaction) will be checked visually and by usingrolling straight edge. Then immediately
make the rectifications. The mixture will be loosened by raking, and as the case may be,
material willbe added, to correct the irregularity. Undue surface coarseness shall be
remedied by the addition of finer material via hand sieves. Rolling straight edge will be
continuously used to check the evenness of the surface.
 Sufficient compaction equipment shall be provided and compaction shallcontinue until each
lot of asphaltic concrete pavement is compacted to an in-place density as per Specification
for all layers.
4.8.2 Surface / Wearing Layer (Asphaltic wearing course)
 Prior to the placement of bituminous Wearing layer, the Binder layer willbe cleaned and
prepared by removal of dust and deleterious materials by air jetting or mechanically

sweeping or by any approved means.

 An approved bitumen tack coat of required grade shall be applied to the binder courses
at the rate of required liters per m2 or as ordered by the Engineer.
 Sufficient time will be allowed for the curing of the tack coat beforeplacing Wearing
bituminous pavement layer.
 Placing and compacting of mixture will be uniform with minimum stopping and starting
of the paver. Placing and compaction shall be in accordance with Technical Specification.

5.6 Prior Activities

 The Surveyor will locate and mark all live services that are present in the site (This includes
above ground services as well as buried services).
 These services (Electric, Telephone, Gas, Oil, Chemical, Water, Drainage,etc.) will be clearly
marked using stakes and warning tapes. Near these services, special precautions will be
undertaken and coordination with the Engineer will be carried out to avoid any damages during
the filling and compaction process.
 Any existing service if exposed during previous excavation will be clearlymarked, protected, and
properly supported during all activities.
5.7 Cross Section of road.

 Sub-grade
 Sub-base
 Concrete Slab
Starting from bottom such roads consist of following components:
5.8 Method of Construction of Cement Concrete Roads

 Alternate Bay Method
 Continuous Bay Method
 Expansion Joint and Strip Method

5.8.1 Alternate Bay Method :

Case 1 : For Single Lane
If the road is single lane, it is divided into suitable bays of 6 m to 8 m length. The construction is then
carried out in alternate bays.
Case 2 : For Double Lane :
The construction work is carried out in old bays of one lane and even bays of the other lane as
shown in fig. The construction of the next bay is commenced after the concrete laid earlier bays
dries out.
5.8.1.1 Advantages of Alternate Bay Method

 Joints can be constructed easily and its width can be kept as desired.
 The bays which have been cured can serve as additional working platform.
5.8.1.2 Disadvantages of Alternate Bay Method

 During rains, the water collects on the surface of the bays which are not constructed.
 More time is required to complete the work.
 It requires large number of transverse joints.
 The construction is spread over the full width of road pavement and due to which the traffic
will have to be completely diverted.
5.8.2 Continuous Bay Method

This is also known as strip method or full width method. In this method of construction, all the slabs
or bay (as shown in fig) of a strip are constructed continuously without any break from one end to
other

In Continuous bay method construction joints are provided when the day’s work is not ended at the
specified joint.
Moreover in addition to construction joints dummy joints are also provided at 5 m intervals in
transverse direction. They are provided to check the planes of weakness and to control cracking.
5.9 Construction of Cement Concrete Road
The construction of cement concrete road involves following operations:
5.9.1 Preparation of Sub-grade:

 Sub-grade is natural soil on which concrete slab is laid.
 It is cleaned, shaped and levelled.
 After cleaning, it is prepared to the required grade and profile.
 It should be seen that sub-grade has uniform strength over its entire width.
 If any local weak spots are found, they should be removed and strengthened by placing new
material which is compacted.
 When concrete is to be directly placed on sub-grade, the surface should be saturated with
water for 6 to 20 hrs in advance of placing the concrete.
 This is done to ensure that sub-grade does not absorb water from the concrete.
5.9.2 Provision of Sub-base:

 When natural sub-grade is not very firm, a sub-base over the sub-grade is provided.
 Depending upon the type of soil, design load, intensity of traffic and economic
consideration, the decision for providing the sub-base is taken.
5.9.2.a. The sub-base serves the following three purposes:

 It provides a capillary cut-off and the damage caused by mud pumping is prevented.
 Provides a strong supporting layers.
 It reduces the thickness of concrete slab and thus leads to lower cost of construction.
5.9.2.b. The sub-base may consists of any one of the following layers:
 A layer of well graded soil-gravel mixture of maximum thickness 15 cm or as per
specification.

 Brick soling with one layer of W.B.M. of maximum total thickness 10 cm or as per
specification.
 Two layers of W.B.M. of maximum total thickness 15 cm or as per specification.
 A layer of lean cement concrete of maximum thickness 10 cm or as per specification.
When sub-grade soil is very poor, the sub-base should be placed over a blanket of some
granular material or stabilized soil.
5.9.3 Placing the Cement Concrete Road:
 The forms may be made up of steel or timber.

 The steel forms are of mild steel channel sections and their depth is equal to the thickness of
the pavement.
 Forms are properly braced and fixed to the ground by means of stakes.
 Forms are fixed in position by 3 stakes at back of each 3 m length or as per site condition.
 When the forms are fixed, they must be checked for their trueness.
 The maximum deviations permissible in the vertical plane is 3 mm and in horizontal plane 5
mm in 3 m length of the form.
5.9.4 Watering the Prepared Sub-grade or Sub-base:

 After the forms are fixed, the prepared surface to receive concrete is made moist.
 If the sub-grade is dry, it should be sprinkled with as much quantity of water as it can
absorb.
 It is advisable to wet the surface at least 12 hrs in advance of placing the concrete.
 When insulating layer of water-poof paper is provided, the moistening of the surface prior to
placing the concrete is not required.
5.9.5 Batching of Materials and Mixing:

 After determining the proportions of ingredients for the Concrete mix, the fine and course
aggregates are properly proportioned by weight in weight-batching plant.
 They are then fed into the hopper along with necessary quantity of cement which is also
measured by weight.
 The ingredients of concrete are mixed in proper proportions in dry state. The mixing should
preferably be done in a concrete mixer.
 The measured quantity of water is added so that the desired water cement ratio is obtained.
5.9.6 Transporting and Placing of Concrete:

 After mixing, the concrete is transported to the site in wheel burrows or in pans which are
manually carried.
 The mixed concrete is deposited rapidly on the sub-grade in layer of thickness not more than
50 mm to 80 mm or about two or three times the size of aggregates.
 The concrete should be placed over the entire width of bay in successive batches as a
continuous operation.
 The top layer should also be laid to the required camber and gradient, while placing the
concrete it is roded with suitable tool to eliminate voids.

 Segregation of concrete is avoided during transportation and placing. When reinforcement

has been specified in road slab, concrete is placed in two stages.
 In first stage, concrete is placed and compacted to the depth corresponding to the level of
reinforcement shown on the drawings.
 Reinforcement is then placed on top of compacted concrete and remaining thickness of slab
is then completed in second stage.
5.9.7 Compaction of Cement Concrete Road:

 After the concrete is placed in its position, it should brought in its proper position by heavy
screed or tamper fitted with suitable handles.
 The wooden tamper is at least 75 mm wide and its underside is shaped to the finished cross-
section of the slab.
 It should have sufficient strength to retain its shape under all the working conditions
 Concrete is also compacted by means of a power driven finishing machine or by vibrating
hand screed.
 For greater thickness, immersion vibrator is used.
5.9.7.1 Floating:
 After compaction, the entire slab surface is floated longitudinally with a wooden float board.
 The purpose of floating is to provide an even surface free from corrugations.
5.9.7.2 Belting:
 After floating, the surface is further finished by belting just before the concrete become
hard.
 The purpose of belting is to make the road surface non-slippery and skid resistant. This
operation is sometimes omitted.
5.9.7.3 Brooming:
 After belting, brooming is done by drawing brushes at right angles to the center line of road
from edge to edge.
 Brooming is done just before the concrete becomes non- plastic.
 This operation is also sometimes omitted.
5.9.7.4 Edging:
 After brooming, the edges of the slab are carefully finished with an edging tool before the
concrete is finally set.
5.9.8 Curing Process of Cement Concrete Road:

 Curing consist of checking the loss of water from the concrete slab, and keeping the fresh
concrete slab moist during hardening period.
 Initial curing is done for 24 hrs.
 By this time, the concrete becomes hard enough to walk upon and then wet mats are
removed and final curing done for 7days minimum.
 Final curing is done by any one of the following methods:
1. Ponding Method.

2. By covering the slab with 4 to 8 cm thick layer of wet sand or earth.

3. Spraying a suitable chemical such as sodium or calcium chloride on concrete surface.
5.9.9 Fillings of Joints and Edging:

 After curing, the surface is cleaned and washed.
 The joints are then properly filled-in attains with a suitable sealing compound.
5.9.9.1 Opening to Traffic:

Concrete road is opened to traffic when it attains the required strength or after 28 days of
curing or as per specification.
Responsibilities:
 The CM will coordinate with PE / SE and ensure that the necessaryresources to

implement the approved method statement have been allocated to the task.
 The PE / SE will ensure that the site preparation activities are conductedaccording to
the approved method statement and all in-situ tests are implemented.
 Quality Control Engineer will ensure that the materials being used are inaccordance to
the project specifications.
 The HSSE officer along with his team will ensure implementation of all HSSE
procedures related to the nature of the works being carried out andin accordance with
Project Safety Plan.
 The CS along with his team will ensure that all levels, coordinates andstations are
accordance with the approved drawing
