Widening and Upgradation to 2 lanes with paved shoulder configuration and geometric improvement on Chenani - Sudhmahadev section of NH-244

Abstract

PROJECT BACKGROUND The Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) for: Widening & up-gradation of 2-lane with paved shoulders configuration & geometric improvement from 0+000 KM to 16+990 KM from Chenani to Sudhmahadev section of NH-244 in the state of Jammu & Kashmir on EPC mode. It is essentially intended to assist the project team to carry out the various project-related activities in conformity with Technical Schedules, IRC Standards, MORT&H Specifications and Terms of Reference (TOR) as given in the Contract Agreement. The overall aim of the QAP is to eliminate errors rather than detect errors so that deliverables are of required quality and can be submitted to the agreed time frame. All the activities of the project to be undertaken by the ECI-SRM PROJECTS will be based on the quality assurance system/procedures set out on the basis of the Technical Schedules, IRC Standards, BIS Specifications, MORT&H Specifications and Circulars, sound engineering practices and as approved by the MORT&H. The QAP is based on the existing Quality Policy and System Procedures prevalent in the organization and has been suitably modified to meet the specific project requirements. The QAP will ensure that all investigations are controlled from inception and controlled at appropriate levels and the data collected is authorized and approved before use. Similarly, all designs and reporting documentation will be subjected to the rigors of the QAP and ultimately approved by the Team Leader. Quality Assurance Procedures have been framed for the following activities covering the different stages of the project:
