Quality Points to be followed on Construction Site

  MEASURES IN QUALITY CONCERN AT CONSTRUCTION SITE

  1. Date of Work should be mention: Marking of the date of the casting of concrete, construction of brick or block work, plastering is to be made on the structure for identification as well as control of curing.
  2. Work Should be as per Design: Concrete design submitted by supplier has to be reviewed after ensuring its effectiveness / if required can be established by third party agency before acceptance for using for our site.
  3. Checklist should be filled before starting work by Engineer: All the said procedure, checklist is to be checked filled and documented then only activity can be taken up.
  4. Curing to be done for RCC members: Covering columns with heasen cloth (jute bag), creating mortar / sprinklers for effective curing arrangement in RCC structure.
  5. Approved shuttering design to be use at site: For the shuttering methodology adopted by the contractor should be reviewed changed in principal if required after approval only it can be used at site.
  6. Deshuttering to be done as per IS code: De-shuttering of columns moulds, should not be done not less then 18 hours. For other structures based on the spans can be done in guidance with respective IS code.
  7. Shuttering Checking: For any sort of special structure, form work design is to be established, checked thoroughly for its effectiveness, after ascertaining its rigidity for pumping concrete condition it can be adopted.
  8. Cube Testing: A compressive test of cubes results are to be established for 7th and 28th day as well as for 56 days. In case of Fly ash mixing is permitted in design mix, And Standard deviation should be monitored in guidelines with IS 456.
  9. Strength checkig if requied:  In case of lower strength up to the value of 85% of targeted strength Rebound hammer and ultrasonic tests can be conducted based on results we can conclude that the structure is ok, if this also resulting in lover strength / CTM results less then 85% core tests are to be conducted to know stability of structure. Further we can take advice of designer in respect of corrective action.
  10. Post pour Checking: Post inspection to be conducted and in cause of defective concrete is observed the loose particles is to be removed, cavity has to be updated with dry mortar packing. If cavities are for more depth cement pressure grouting is to be done to maintain homogeneity of concrete structure.
  11. Checking of matrial before use: For all incoming materials like steel and cement manufactures test certificate is to be verified. How ever the bar benders opinion has to be taken for bending and re-bending before unloading.  And third party testing for 500MT / one test in case of reinforcement. For 5000 no of bricks one set of bricks to be tested in our lab / one third party test at 100000 no of bricks results are to be established.
  12. Material testing Certificate: All the materials require the testing / certification should be rooted through QC personals and there witness is to be ensured before acceptance at site.
  13. Checking Sequence for Work: Checking sequence will be in three level I.e. contractor engineer followed with builder engineer and finally quality engineer for clearance.
  14. Backfilling requirement: Backfilling of the sides of buildings are to be tested with Procter modified density test to 95%. No of samples for core test is in the order of one for 300 Cu m / 1000 Sq m.   
  15. Safety measures:  All the activities should be done under the safety officers guidance and safety measures should be followed and checklist of safety work should be done by safety officers.
