QA / QC Plan
Policy Review
Page | 6
This Quality Assurance Plan (QAP) is an effort to outline the activities of the
SINOHYDRO-NEL Joint Venture in adequate details for the guidance of its staff and
other relevant Personnel during the construction activities of the project to satisfy
the requirements of Contract. It requires that individuals have clearly defined
responsibilities and lines of communication to enable all aspects of the work activities to be
assessed and accepted and if a problem is discovered, the solution is quickly found. QAP
cannot replace the experience of reasonable and responsible staff; however it can help them
in selection of timely and sequential line of various activities and in keeping and maintaining
retrievable record documentation. This QAP is specially designed for Rehabilitation and
Upgrading of Pakpattan Canal, Khadir Branch & Pakpattan Islam Link Project (Contract No.
PCSBIP/ICB- 01).
The SINOHYDRO-NEL Joint Venture is, in particular, responsible for the Quality
Control of the Works as per Contract Specification. Consultants supervision and
surveillance does not relieve the Contractor of his contractual obligations. The basic
purpose of QAP is to ensure that the Quality Control System is in place and
performing to the requirements of Contract documents during the construction
period.
The quality requirements are based on provisions for technical specifications as per contract
documents for Rehabilitation and Upgrading of Pakpattan Canal, Khadir Branch &
Pakpattan Islam Link Project. Maximum efforts have been exerted in making QAP an
acceptable and tangible document for all levels of execution and supervisory staff and
novice to experience. Technical notes are provided at places to develop field staffs
approach and insight for a useful and effective supervision, without undermining adherence
to the contract specification.
The Contract Documents are the basis for this QAP, therefore, where an ambiguity is
detected between the procedures and requirements of QAP and content of Contract
Documents then the later takes the precedence.
The following are the objectives while formulating QAP.
To define and adopt a sequential and systematic quality assurance line of action with
participation of the other stake holders for ensuring of all submittals, procurement,
execution of works and other on and off site construction activities. These activities may
Page | 7
also include material supply, testing and reporting envisaged in the specification of the
project.
To define the assignment and responsibilities of the Contractors field staff and other
relevant personnel at site with respect to Quality Assurance of the project vis-a-vis the
Contractors Quality Control Programme and their interaction with the client and the
Consultant.

EARTHWORK
2.2.1
Objective
Construction Equipment
Selection of type of excavation and compaction equipment must be done wisely keeping in
view the bulk of work and efficiency of the equipment and that the selected equipment is
capable and adequate to perform the required earthwork. The following may be deployed as
per the nature of work involved;
Excavators
Dozer
Dump Trucks
Motor Graders
Water Bowser
Dewatering Arrangements
Compactors(Rollers)
2.2.3 Inspection
Setting out details on site as per design will be the responsibility of the field staff. The
Consultants through their own field staff shall check the setting-out accuracy, survey
control for NSL and design levels by joint survey with Contractor. These surveys shall be
Page | 12
If the Contractor encounters wet or slush, he is required to report to the Consultants Site
Engineer who will jointly inspect the site, evaluate according to Earthwork Sub Clause of
Technical Specifications of Contract Documents and submit their recommendations for
approval by the Engineer.
The Control of moisture and compaction of soils in the embankment of canals and
compacted earth consists of inspection of the material used, checking the amount and
uniformity of the soil moisture, maintaining the thickness of layer, and finally determining
the percentage of relative Dry Density of the compacted fill.
The relative Dry Density of the compacted fill is determined on the basis of Field Density
Tests and the Reference Laboratory Compaction Tests. The Field Density Tests shall be
performed by the Contractors staff as and when directed by the Engineer In-charge or
Site Inspectors.
Tests at critical areas shall be carrying out by Consultants staff and verified in
Consultants Field Laboratory.
The Maximum and Minimum Dry Density Test results (from external laboratory) are used
as Reference Laboratory Tests for cohesion less sandy soils.
The soils having less than 12% passing No. 200 sieve are defined as sandy or noncohesive soils.
The Site Inspector should see that all perishable matter and any soil which may become
unstable upon saturation, such as highly organic soils, loose silts, very fine sands/silts
and expansive clays etc. are not present in the foundations. These soils either need to
be removed or improved to the extent necessary to provide a safe, stable foundation or
sub-grade under operating conditions.
A good bond between the foundation and first layer of fill is achieved by moistening the
foundation rather than using a very wet embankment layer.

For Quality Assurance (QA) of earthwork operations the Staff shall proceed in
accordance with CKL-1.2(1) Checklist for Structural Excavations and CKL-1.2(2)
Checklist for Canal Earthworks.
doubtful.
Areas of doubtful density are sometimes detected by observation. Possible locations of
insufficient compaction include:
The junction between areas of mechanical tamping and rolled earth fill
embankment along abutments or cut-off walls.
Areas where less than specified number of roller passes were made.
Areas where oversized rock which has been overlooked, is contained in the fill.

The recommended tests, their procedures, frequency and the required facilities
for an effective quality control/assurance of earthwork are presented in Section
3.7 Test Programme. The contractors field staff is required to ensure that these
tests are performed as per specified frequencies in the recommended
laboratories or at site. The field tests should be performed in the presence of the
Engineers site Inspector and the results recorded immediately on completion of
the test, duly signed by the authorized representative of the Contractor and
Consultants. An independent record of the tests should also be maintained
by consultants field staff, in addition to the submittals of the Contractor.

parameters that directly effect the quality.
3.6.3 Responsibilities
QA/QC Manager is responsible for ensuring that the Calibration of all Inspection,
Measuring and Testing Equipment (IMTE).
3.6.4 Procedure
Standard procedures will be followed to assure that test and measuring devices used to
