5. QUALITY ASSURANCE SYSTEM


General Requirements:
In the changing scenario of globalization and economic liberalization, a great deal of emphasis is already laid
on development of infrastructure through construction of a dependable road network. Consequently,
consistency in the quality of road and incorporation of quality as major attribute in the organisation entrusted
with the task of road construction has assumed paramount importance.

Quality of a product or service has many aspects and that quality should conform to the customer’s
requirements has now become the focal point in managing quality in all organizations/ projects. Earlier, quality
was often considered as conformance to specifications particularly in the road sector and was based on
detection at the end of production stage, thus, ensuring conformance to specified requirements entirely through
inspection and testing of the product at the end. This was the quality control phase through which the road
construction industry has been traveling in the recent past.
If one looks around in the corporate sector, it is revealed that more conformity to specifications is no longer
considered as a measure of quality. Alternatively the major corporate organizations have switched to a Quality
Assurance (QA) phase. The QA stresses on planned and systematic working with a view to eliminate the
chances of non-conformities. Statistical process control techniques are employed to assure that the product
meets specified requirements, rather than achieving it through detection and rejection of defectives at the end
of production.
Need for a ‘Manual on Quality Assurance System’

In order to achieve the aim of building safe, serviceable, durable and economic highways, the road structure
should meet certain requirements. The characteristics that a structure should possess to fulfill these
requirements have to be specified. The codes of practice and the contract documents strive to achieve this by
way of defining design criteria, practical rules, technical specifications, testing and acceptance criteria and
workmanship. All these strategies implicitly depend upon human skills for their successful and reliable
application, which, eventually, determines the quality of highways. The basic desire to produce quality work is
essential in the mind of all those connected with road projects.

In order to achieve the required level of quality of the final product, as specified by engineering science, it is
necessary to have a strategy for management of human skills by way of Quality System defining quality policy,
quality assurance plan and quality audit. Apart from this, it is also necessary to explicitly define ‘Quality’ itself,
which is expected to be achieved through the Quality System.

General Approach

Concept

The term ‘Quality’ has been defined as the totality of features and characteristics of a product or services that
bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied needs. In the contractual environments, needs/ requirements are

Page 11 of 76
QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL

specified. The code of practice endeavors to meet the requirements by a three-pronged strategy. Firstly, it
specifies the acceptable materials of construction outlining the various tests of acceptance; secondly, it defines
various design criteria, practical rules and sound engineering practices for guiding the designers in arriving at
appropriate structural solutions; and thirdly, it deals with the workmanship and other aspects of construction
which ensure that the design intents are realised in actual construction. The contract documents and technical
specifications define the inter-relation of various parties to the contract as well as the requirements of quality.
All these strategies implicitly depend upon human skill for their successful and reliable application. The total
system of policy, management responsibility, internal and external control, testing and quality control,
acceptance criteria, corrective action, and documentation is covered in the quality system. It also encompasses
the overall organisation structure, responsibilities, procedures and processes for implementing quality
management. The aspect of overall management function that determines the quality policy and implements it
by such means as quality planning, quality control and quality assurance within its quality system, is called
‘Quality Management’.

The quality of the product (or service) is ensured and maintained by following a documented ‘Quality
Assurance Plan’, which sets out specific quality practices, including ‘Quality Control’ which are operational
techniques of controlling quality. ‘Quality Assurance’ (QA) includes all those planned actions necessary to
provide adequate confidence that the product (or service) will meet the requirements, and is essentially a
system of planning, organising and controlling human skills to assure quality. Quality Assurance Plan sets out
planned actions required for quality assurance. This continuous monitoring and verification of the status of QA
activity to ensure that it is being followed is called ‘Quality Surveillance’. ‘Quality Policy’ is a formally
documented statement of management’s intentions and directions as regards to quality. ‘Quality Audit’ is a
managerial tool used for reviewing the whole or a part of the quality system by internal or external agencies not
connected with operation of QA plan. ‘Total Quality Management’ brings to these concepts a long-term
global management strategy to achieve and improve quality and calls for the participation of all members of the
organization for the benefit of the organization itself, its members, its customers and society as a whole.

Quality Assurance and Quality Assurance Manual

Quality Assurance (QA) is defined as all the planned and systematic activities implemented with the Quality
System and demonstrated as needed, to provide adequate confidence that an entity will fulfill the requirements.
A Quality Assurance Manual (QAM) provides a base document outlining policy, procedures, responsibilities,
compliance, acceptance criteria and documentation. It should be prepared and accepted by all parties
concerned before start of project.

It should generally cover the following:


(a) Identification of all parties involved in QA and their inter-relationship.

(b) Internal QA system of each party.

(c) Levels of cross-checking/ verification in case of multiple verifications/ controls, including system
of inspection and audit, wherever applicable.

(d) Organization of personnel, responsibilities and lines of reporting for QA purposes.

Page 12 of 76
QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL

(e) Criteria for acceptance/ rejection, including identification of proper authorities for such decisions.

(f) Inspection at the end of defect liability period.

(g) Items to be covered in maintenance manual.

(h) All formats for documentation.

Though, several parties may be involved in enforcing quality assurance for any particular item of work or a
product, the ultimate responsibility of compliance with QAM and of achieving required quality generally rests
with one party. When process and/ or product control is carried out by the contractor or his agent, it is termed
as internal control or ‘one level’ control. For important items of work, independent parallel checks/ supervision
are carried out by one or more agencies, either on full scale or on sample basis. This is normally carried out as
external control or second level control. In some cases, third level of control may also be required, such as,
that by a regulatory body or by insurance agency. These levels of control parties, their functions and inter-
relation between them should be clearly defined in the Quality Assurance Manual. The Manual also should
identify the responsible parties, their functions and inter-relations between them.

Quality Assurance Manual for Highways/ Roads

The owner, consultant, approving authority, main contractor, material suppliers, specialist/ nominated sub-
contractors, manufacturers of materials being incorporated in permanent works are the parties involved in the
overall QA system for road construction.

Typical organizational structure for various parties involved in design and construction (owners, consultants,
contractors) are given in Figs. 1, 2 & 3.

Various activities on a road project can be classified under three groups.

(1) Design

(2) Construction

(3) Manufacturing

In design activity, purchaser is the authority that places the order for design and/ or project preparation. It may
be either the owner of the road as in the case of preparation of detailed design, or the contractor, as in the case
of design and construct contracts. Supplier is the consultant who undertakes to prepare the design. The
design, drawings and tender documents are the end products. The QA manual should cover those
requirements of quality system, which concern services or expertise.

In construction activity, purchaser is the authority that places order for the construction of road. Supplier is the
contractor who constructs the road. In this case, the end product is the road.

Manufacturing activities fall under the following two categories.

The first category consists of factory-manufactured item for general use, like, aggregates, cement, bitumen/
bitumen products, reinforcements, etc.

Page 13 of 76
QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL

The requirements of quality system pertaining to the specifications of quality, testing and acceptance procedure,
procurement, storage, and such other relevant items, which are to be carried out by owner/ designer/
contractor, should be covered therein.

The second category of manufactured items cover road markers, lane dividers; lighting masts, tollbooth, road
signs, etc. manufactured by specialist suppliers and are purchased for use as finished products by the
contractor. The quality assurance manual should cover the quality assurance of such items.

Typical Quality Assurance Plan For Design And Construction


Introduction
Step by step procedures, which would help in achieving consistent and comprehensive methods of checking and
approval of works at every stage, need to be established and documented. These procedures should be
reviewed periodically, amended, as found necessary and revised documents prepared.

All parties involved in the QA plan should have their internal QA systems clearly defined in form of a specific
Quality Assurance Manual (QAM) for the respective purposes, such as, QAM for manufactured products (by the
manufacturers or suppliers). It is also necessary for owner/ purchaser to have his own internal QA plan. QAM for
highway project as a whole integrating all these plans shall be prepared/ or approved by the owner and/ or
approving authority, if any. Each vendor (i.e., supplier, designer, contractor, manufacturer) will thus, have his own
internal QA procedures that are required to be agreed upon, in advance, with the purchaser of the respective
activity.

As highway building in India is mostly undertaken by Govt. agencies, it is necessary that the contractor/ designer
obtain concurrence of their QAM from the concerned Government Department (‘Department’). The Guidelines
should be used by the respective parties in evolving of the operational QAM to be agreed between the contractor
and the Department for adoption at site.

Quality assurance plan for a road construction project, documented in quality assurance manual, would
essentially comprise the following aspects:

 Organization.

 Control of data documentation, both product (roads) related documents and quality related records
together with control documents.

 Q.A. procedure for setting out of works and temporary works.

 Control of materials.

 Traceability and product identification (if required by clients).

 Calibration.

 Control of workmanship aspects.

Page 14 of 76
QUALITY ASSURANCE MANUAL

 Protection during construction stage.

 Non-conforming products.

 Quality audit.

Organisation of the Contractor


In most of the cases, the management of the contractor shall be responsible for jointly reviewing the
requirements of the project with the owner and structuring the appropriate organisation for the same. This
project specific organisation is headed by Project Manager. The duties among the staff below him could be
generally on the following functional lines:
Planning Engineering

Covering all aspects of work planning, resource requirements of materials and labour, progress review and
internal interface activities.
