Quality Control Techniques

Quality has been the main issue in construction projects. In handling it, the quality control techniques during construction process are required to thoroughly carry out in order to avoid any mistakes which lead to bigger problem such as poor quality of project outcomes. The implementation of quality control techniques during site inspection is able to discard all possible negative effects towards construction projects. There are three quality control techniques that have been used during site inspection known as Project Quality Plan (PQP), Inspection Test Plan (ITP) and Checklist. In order to implement these techniques, there are some matters that need to be identified and overcome. Therefore, this study has been carried out to identify the challenges in implementation of quality control techniques during site inspection. To achieve the objective, the survey questionnaire was distributed among G5, G6 and G7 contractors’ in Malaysia. A total of 82 useable questionnaires were received and analysed using factor analysis. The challenges were clumped and categorized into respective groups. The seven groups were renamed, namely: (1) attitude, (2) documents, (3) operations, (4) management, (5) workers, (6) information and (7) methods. This study helps to improve the quality control techniques especially during site inspection among Malaysian contractors.

Quality control techniques have long been used in the businesses that primarily sell and produce standard products and seldom conduct external projects. This paper tries to introduce those quality control techniques to construction contractors or builders and probes the probability of applying them in the quality management of a construction project.

Quality Control Techniques

The application of quality control theory to shipyard practices is described. The work is facilitated from the project engineering level on a contract applying a construction process which includes state-of-the-art technology employed by shipyards and other manufacturing industries throughout the world. The paper explains the benefits to be derived by using quality control methods in the production processes. The system is enhanced further when designs are configured to recognize production factors. The quality control techniques described herein have proved effective in bringing the process under control and maintaining the dimensional integrity of the subject series of vessels.

Bromcresol Green

In an age of reference methodologies and sophisticated quality control techniques it is surprising that so little attention is paid to the quality of the reagents that are used. This paper reports on an investigation of the bromcresol green dye-binding procedure for the estimation of serum albumin in which particular attention has been paid to changes in the reagent components that contribute to the performance of the method. It has been shown that detailed attention to the quality control of the reagents can improve the precision and interlaboratory comparison in the estimation of serum albumin.

Delay in construction projects is considered one of the most common problems, causing a multitude of negative effects on the project and its participating parties. Delays can cause losses to the economy, cost overruns, disputes, arbitration, abandonment, and poor quality of finished project. This paper aims to identify the main causes of delay in multi years infrastructure projects in Indonesia. Based on secondary data from documents for Proposals and Completion of Extension of Multi-Year Contract Approval in the FY 2018 and 2019 which are processed at the Ministry of Finance, 19 factors that caused the delay were identified. The importance indexes measured and ranked the level of importance of the delay factors. The main five causes of time delays included land acquisition problem, design change, failed tender, inadequate site investigation, and shortage of construction materials. Majority of the cause is attributed to Ministry/Institution as project owner. The results can help project owners, contractors, and consultants in understanding the reasons for the delay, so that each party, especially the Ministry/Agency as the project owner, can eliminate or minimize these causes.

The compaction quality of the subgrade is directly related to the service life of the road. Effective control of the subgrade construction process is the key to ensuring the compaction quality of the subgrade. Therefore, real-time, comprehensive, rapid and accurate prediction of construction compaction quality through informatization detection method is an important guarantee for speeding up construction progress and ensuring subgrade compaction quality. Based on the function of the system, this paper puts forward the principle of system development and the development mode used in system development, and displays the development system in real-time to achieve the whole process control of subgrade construction quality.
