Quality Assurance in Construction Engineering

Date & Duration : 1 Day

Purpose

Purpose of this course is to make construction engineers knowledgeable about Quality Assurance practices used on site. This course is aimed at covering all areas of Quality Assurance including testing of materials, interpreting test results, make concrete mix design.

The course will make the construction engineers aware of preparing and maintaining quality records, stages of seeking approvals, demanding inspections.

This course will enhance qualities of construction engineers to deliver the quality aspects of project in a systematic manner. Such systematic record will be also helpful to KEC to protect against faulty allegations or claims.

Objective

Upon completion of this course, the participants will be able to

  • Explain what is QA plan, elaborate sampling and testing requirements of different construction materials, interpret test reports, make concrete mix design.
  • Prepare and maintain quality records, define stages of approvals and demands for inspection

Who should Attend
