1.5 QUALITY CONTROL

a) Prior to dispatch of any product and/or material from source the

Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing in sufficient time to allow
the Engineer the opportunity to inspect and test the product and/or
material prior to delivery in accordance with Section 01000-08 of the
specification.

b) Products and materials shall be from a manufacturer/supplier who

operates a quality system which is registered to ISO 9000 series or
approved equal.

c) The Contractor shall operate a quality control system, to be approved by

the Engineer, which will effectively gauge the accuracy and consistency
of the survey report produced by the operator from the monitor picture.

d) The system shall be such that the accuracy of reporting should be a

function particularly of:

i. The number of faults not recorded (omissions).

ii. The correctness of the coding and classification of each fault
recorded.

e) The minimum levels of accuracy to be attained shall be as follows:

i. Header accuracy 95%

ii. Detail accuracy 85%
iii. Lowest acceptable tolerance 75%

f) The Engineer shall be entitled to audit periodically the control system

and be present when assessments are being computed.

g) When requested by the Engineer the Contractor shall forward to the

Engineer sufficient details and information for this audit assessment.

(ADSSC)

h) Should any report fail to achieve the specified percentages for a

particular pipe length, the Engineer shall require the Contractor to re-
code and resubmit the report. If the accuracy check fails, the Contractor
shall repeat the full quality control check on 10 surveys, 5 surveys either
side of the survey which has failed. If any further failures are found to be
outside the tolerances laid down above within these additional checks,
the process will be repeated until an acceptable standard is reached.
Any reports that have failed will be re-coded by another qualified
surveyor and submitted to the Engineer to replace those in his
possession.

i) Quality selection is achieved by using two parameters:

i. Population - the anticipated number of surveys carried out by one

surveyor over a period of time (normally I year).
ii. Sample size - the number of surveys required to be checked to
satisfy the quality control validity.

j) The sample surveys for quality control are to be selected by the use of
computer generated random numbers (ERNI) or other such equivalent
method and shall be 5% of the total population. Each surveyor shall
have a different set of random numbers, which are sorted into
chronological order, and are renewed once the population size has been
reached. The random numbers shall not be disclosed to the surveyor
until they have been used up.

k) On site the surveyor logs certain information on the surveys being

carried out and in the order in which they are surveyed.

l) The “in-office” staff then count through the surveys that have taken place
and copy those reports that coincide with the random numbers.

m) A copy of the relevant section of the recording shall also be made

available.

n) Information on the recording and its contents are entered on a survey

selection log.

o) All header information shall be checked to ensure that left and right
justified entries are correctly entered, alpha or numeric symbols are
correctly used and all compulsory boxes filled in. The percentage of
accurate entries shall be ascertained and any that fall below the value
specified shall be rejected. All decimal percentage points shall be
rounded down to the nearest whole number.

p) Detail information - Each error/omission is treated on an equal basis

whether or not it is a minor or major error or omission. During the
checking each error/omission is highlighted on the report from which the
following totals are calculated for each survey report:

ADSSC/GSCW Division 02 Section 02700 CCTV Condition Survey Rev: 02 Jan. 2011 Page 6 of 16
 General Specification for Civil Works
Abu Dhabi Sewerage Services Company
(ADSSC)

i. The number of actual entries that should have been made.

ii. The number of actual errors/omissions made.

q) These totals are entered on the right of the survey report being checked.
Individual column totals are also calculated and entered on to the survey
accuracy log.

r) The accuracy of each survey is arrived at by taking the number of actual

errors/omissions away from the number of actual entries that should
have been made and dividing the result by the number of actual entries
that should have been made and multiplying by 100 to create a
percentage.

s) This percentage is entered on the survey detail rating form.

t) The ongoing accuracy of the surveyor (the “confidence level”) is

calculated by taking the mean of 5 percentage results (each 5
representing one control unit).

u) Both the individual survey percentages and the mean results are entered
onto the surveyor’s accuracy graph which has two boundaries:

i. Specified mean - the level of accuracy expected.

ii. Specified tolerance - the level to which the accuracy can fall before
specific action is taken.

v) Any surveyor whose quality control results fall below the specified mean
on more than 2 occasions or the specified tolerance at any time shall be
deemed to have failed his quality control criteria and shall be invalidated
from acting as a team leader on this Contract until he has attended and
passed an approved course for pipe condition classification.

1.6 SAFETY

The Contractor shall be solely responsible for safety during the performance
of all work. The Contractor shall not enter into any sewer where hazardous
conditions may exist until such time as the source of these conditions is
eliminated by the Contractor. Contractor shall perform all work in
accordance with the latest applicable confined space entry regulations.
Contractor shall coordinate his work with local, fire police and emergency
rescue units.
