ASSIGNMENT
You have been selected as a project manager for a prestigious high
rise building in Mumbai which will be housing very rich personalities from
industry and film world.
Your company management has asked you to formalize Quality
Management System (QMS) for interior finishes, plumbing and prevention
of rain water seepage so that the overall quality standard and image of
company is raised.

Purpose:
The purpose of this document i.e. Quality Assurance Plan is to
establish work methodology for Quality Control and Material engineering for
Construction of High Rise Building in Mumbai for very rich personalities
from industry and film world.
The procedure will outline the methods that will be used in line with
the National Building Codes, Local building codes Specifications for Building
works and the Technical Specifications as per the requirements of the
Engineer or his representatives.
The methodology also defines the standards of workmanship and
requirements for materials necessary for the work.

Scope:
This procedure is applicable to all engineers, workmen, supervisors,
inspectors and quality control personnel engaged in the works for the
Construction of High rise residential apartments in Mumbai. It intends to
correlate and control the tasks pertaining to Quality Control and Materials
testing in compliance with the requirements.

Quality management System

Quality management system refers to all plans, processes and
activities that are developed to achieve the intended degree of
conformance in the design and execution of any project. The QMS concept
focuses attention of the following specific aspects of construction
processes.
1. Construction is a one time activity. It affords no second chance of
modification, repair or rejection once the construction work is
completed. There is no scope for catching the defects after the
construction is over. Therefore quality consciousness, skill and
workers are essential in achieving quality. Training, motivation

and

commitment are the primary requirement of quality construction.

2. With the increase in complexity and the size of construction
operations, the responsibility for ensuring quality has gradually
shifted from the worker to supervisor of inspection and later to the
quality control department. This

3.

Trend has to be reversed if quality is the goal. Responsibility to

ensure quality has to be shifted back to the worker at site and his
supervisor.

4. It is a well known fact that the quality cannot be constructed. It has

to be designed into a project system. QMS therefore starts from the
design stage itself. Quality of design is the difference between
Page 3

various design of the project for achieving the same end use and the
most optimal design finally selected. Thus economy, quality and safety
are very closely interlinked in construction process.
5. Quality is expensive. Quality decisions are based on trade-offs
between cost of construction and the benefits derived from the
operations of facility. Once the decision is taken, it has to be backed
by appropriate staff strength, infrastructure and support services.
The management must therefore be committed to quality, participate
in all measures developed to achieve it and lend support to QMS
personnel.
6. QMS is the responsibility of the project authority. The owner or his
representative formulates the policy, determines the scope of quality
planning and management establishes the relationship between the
various participating organizations and delegates responsibility and
authority to them so that the quality objectives set by the owner are
achieved.

Quality Control:
Quality control refers to the technical processes that gather,
examine, analyze and report the projects progress and conformance with
the performance requirements. QC mainly relates to four basic functions:
1. Setting up of standards and specifications.

Page 4

2. Evaluating materials, processes and outputs through appropriate

tests, inspection etc.
3. Appraising failures to these standards and acting when standards are
not being adhered to.
4. Planning improvements in the standards and specifications.

Quality Control norms, techniques and procedures:

Inspection:
Once quality standards and other things are laid out inspection
becomes a routine matter. In any quality control programme actual
inspection and measurement is an un-detachable factor, which is to be
planned at properly to meet with the overall objective of the quality control.
Various stages of inspection should be determined. Some of such stages
could be following.
i.

Material inspection at suppliers end.

ii.

Material inspection at the stage of receipt.

iii.

Material inspection at the stage of issue.

iv.

Inspection of the process at the time of initial setting of

machine/equipment.

v.

Inspection of trial run batch.

vi.

Inspection while the execution is in progress.

vii.

Inspection of the finished process.

viii.

Inspection before erection and commissioning.

ix.

Inspection of commissioning.
Page 5

x.

Inspection of machines and equipment commissioned.

Having decided various stages of inspection and various quality

characteristics to be inspected it is also important to decide who will
inspect, when the inspection will be carried out, how many units will be
inspected, instruments to be used required approval for acceptance.
While planning such inspection activities it is also important to decide what
information is to be given to the inspector at the time of inspection. Some
of the basic information required is design specifications, product
specification, quality characteristics, quality standards and tolerances
available and the detailed inspection procedures.
For total quality control the following six phases are necessary (6Cs)
i.

Comprehension - What is quality? It should be definable and

measurable

ii.

Commitment

- Clarity of concept and policies organizations for

it.
iii.

Competence

- Develop methods test procedures to evaluate

quality
understand the price conformance to quality.
iv.

Communication - Create awareness, resolve conflicts, coordinate

activities,

Page 6

v.

Correction

- Solve problems for non conformance. They may be

due to lack of attention rather than lack of knowledge or lack of

facilities.
vi.

Continuance

Maintain its importance and do not complacent

ensure exposure to sustained programme.

Quality control standards and specifications

The quality of construction depends upon right material used, the
correct methods followed and produce end product of acceptable
performance. Quality control attempts to ensure just that much. The means
of quality control are tests, inspection, supervision and analysis of data etc.
Quality tests are conducted in laboratories and inspection and supervision
are carried out on the site and the data analysis is done by experts in
office.

Specifications:
The project authorities prepare the process of working out
specifications of various facilities where concrete will be used. However,
the standards and specifications for concrete and its various ingredients
are universally standardized and they are required to be in conformity with
same. Indian standards IS for concrete and its basic ingredients viz.,
cement aggregates coarse and fine, water admixtures and various aspects of

Page 7

concreting, its placement and final acceptance should be as per IS

specifications.

Tests:
Tests are used to determine the various properties of the materials,
which help in their selection as well as for ascertaining the quality of final
product. The test results are compared with the prescribed standards and
specifications and judgements are arrived at. Proper methods of sampling,
prescribed procedures of testing, well qualified and trained personnel for
testing work and properly equipped laboratories are necessary.

What to test:
The manufactured goods such as cement and steel carry their
suppliers warrantee but this does not mean that they are not to be tested.
In case of materials like aggregate and water the properties may vary
widely over time and space and proper selection has to done to meet the
engineering requirements.
The raw materials are processed to obtain the final product. The processing
need to be tested and supervised carefully. Some intermediate process may
not be having tests and they cannot be tested and the inadequacies if any
can known only when the final product is tested. In such situation the
testing of final product is important.

Statistical Quality Control:

Total quality management addresses organizational quality from
managerial and philosophical viewpoint. TQM focuses on customer driven
quality standards, managerial leadership, continuous improvement, quality
identified problems at the source and quality made everyones responsibility.
However, talking about solving quality problems is not enough. We need
specific tools that helps us make the right quality decision. These tools
comes from the area of statistics and are used to help identify quality
problems in the production process as well as in product itself.
Statistical quality control is the term used to describe the set of
statistical tools used by quality professionals. Statistical quality control can
be divided into three broad categories.
Descriptive Statistics:
Are used to describe quality characteristics and relationships.
Included are statistics such as the mean, standard deviation, the range and
a measure of distribution of data.
Statistical Process Control:

Page 9

Involves inspecting a random sample of the output from a process and

deciding whether the process is producing products with characteristics
that fall within a predetermined range. SPC answer the questions whether
the process is functioning properly or not.
Acceptance Sampling:
Is the process of randomly inspecting a sample of goods and deciding
whether to accept the entire lot based on the results. Acceptance sampling
determines whether a batch of goods should be accepted or rejected.

Quality Assurance:
Quality assurance refers to the managerial processes which
determine the organizations design, objectives and resources, the project
team, funding agencies, performance standards and feedback on the project
performance, appropriate actions to deal with deviations and all steps
necessary for promoting quality awareness at all levels and in all parts of the
project organizations.

A typical quality assurance programme addresses itself to the following.

1.

Organization structure of the project team and quality assurance

department.

2. Responsibilities and powers of the various personnel involved.

3. Identification of the coordinating personnel.
4. Quality and its programmes.
Page 10

5. Quality education and awareness,

6. Quality circles.
7. Training.
8. Setting up of MIS for quality.
9. Resolution of technical differences and disputes.
10. Preparation of quality assurance manuals and their checklist.
11. Vendor survey procedures.
12. Vendor surveillance procedure
Quality assurance provides protection against quality problems
through early warnings of trouble ahead. Such early warnings play an
important role in the prevention of both internal and external problems. The
assurance is provided from objective evidence but the type of evidence
differs widely according to persons requiring the assurance and nature of
product.
It need not be emphasized that quality assurance is an essential
prerequisite of all construction projects. Over years the accent on quality
has graduated progressively from simple Inspection to quality control to
quality assurance and to quality management. Whereas the limitations of
inspections are quite obvious, a quality control system includes testing of
raw materials at selection and processing stage, testing at various stages of
production, acceptance and feedback.

Waterproofing of Raft and Retaining Walls

Waterproofing of Raft and Retaining walls by external tanking
(including grouting of Concrete)
External tanking (including grouting of concrete) of basement,
trenches, etc. shall be carried out using an approved acrylic chemical
waterproofing compound, in stages given below:
Stage 1:
After the lean concrete has been laid to receive the RCC raft, a
345 mm thick brick toe wall in Cement Mortar 1:6 shall be constructed,
on the perimeter of the area to be water proofed. The height of this
wall shall be equal to the thickness of the RCC Raft. The brick toe wall
shall be paid separately under the item of Brick work.
Stage 2:
Base
The external tanking treatment shall be carried out for the
base raft over the lean concrete in the following sequence.
a)

A layer of cement slurry mixed with the acrylic waterproofing

compound shall be spread over the lean concrete.

b)

In each layer where acrylic waterproofing compound is to be

Page 50

used it shall be mixed in the ratio of 400 gms per 50 kg. Of

cement unless specified otherwise.
c)

Thereafter a 25mm thick (minimum) bedding layer of cement

mortar 1:3 (one part cement: three parts course sand) mixed
with acrylic waterproofing compound shall be laid.

d)

Curing shall be done by spraying water for 7 days.

e)

A layer of Kota stone slabs of approximately 600 x 600mm and

having minimum thickness of 20mm shall be laid. The joints
between the stones shall be 6mm. After laying the joints shall be
raked and sealed with cement mixed with acrylic waterproofing
compound (in the ratio 1:1).

f)

A layer of cement mortar 1:4 (one part cement: four parts

coarse sand) mixed with acrylic waterproofing compound shall be
laid and finished smooth.

g)

Curing shall be done by spraying water for 7 days.

h)

The waterproofing shall be turned up along the brick wall on the

perimeter of the basement raft. The work shall be carried out
as described under walls.

NB: The above specification shall also be followed for the roof of
basement.

Page 51

Stage 3: Grouting of Concrete

Raft
Placing and prefixing of 15mm M.S. nozzles of length 0.5D where
D is the depth of the raft shall be done on the construction joints and
pour strips. The spacing of the nozzles shall be 1 m apart in both
directions in the raft to enable grouting to be done. The pipes shall
project 50mm above the top of the raft and shall be plugged using
M.S. caps.
The RCC shall be cast after placement of the nozzles as required.
After the concrete of raft has attained proper maturity the
injection of cement mixed with non-shrink polymeric grouting
compound through the nozzles under maximum pressure of 2.5
kg/sqcm. By hand/air/electric/pump shall be carried out.
The nozzles shall be sealed after injection operation is over
with a cementations rendering with quick setting admixture of CICO
make or approved equivalent.
The above specification shall also be followed for the roof of
basement if required.
Waterproofing of other areas (roofs, terraces, water tanks,
toilets, floor slabs, etc.)

Page 52

Scope of Work
The work shall include waterproofing for the building roofs,
terraces, water tanks, toilets, floor slabs, walls, planters, chajjas, sills
and any other areas and at any other locations and situations as
directed by the Engineer, in accordance with the design, shapes,
thickness, details, all as shown on the Good for Construction
drawings or as specified or as directed by the Engineer complete in all
respects to give the quality of finished work as desired by and to the
entire satisfaction of the Engineer.
The work shall be carried out by an experienced specialist subcontractor who shall be appointed only after prior approval of the
Engineer.

MATERIALS:

Tapecrete
An acrylic based polymer modified cementations composite
coating system manufactured by FRC Composites India Ltd. Or
approved equivalent.

Waterproofing General
The waterproofing treatment shall be done on smooth plastered
surfaces. Portland ordinary cement shall be used for the plastering on
the concrete screed on roofs. The plastered areas shall be cured for a
minimum of 7 (seven) days. Curing shall be done by keeping wet gunny
or burlap or ponding water.

Page 53

The surface shall be allowed to dry for about 4 to 6 weeks,

after the curing period is over.
The surface on which waterproofing is to be done shall be bone
dry, free of all dust, loose material, laitance etc. A surface dry area
shall not be construed as being totally (bone) dry.
The Contractor shall ensure that everything where the
waterproofing is worked around or into are fixed (e.g. rainwater
downtakes, etc.) in position and all pre-waterproofing application work
by the other Contractors is complete.

Waterproofing to Toilets, Kitchens etc.

Waterproofing treatment to floor slabs and walls, chhajjas,
roof projections, toilets, kitchens etc. in the building shall be done as
described below.
A priming coat shall be applied over the complete area to be
waterproofed. The primer shall be made of net grey cement mixed
with an integral waterproofing compound in the proportion as
recommended by the manufacturer.
Thereafter two coats of Tapercrete mixed with cement in
the proportion 1:2 (1 kg Tapercrete : 2 kg of cement) shall be applied.
All the joints of pipes, edges, corners, openings shall be sealed
with epoxy putty. As refer above.

Page 54

Waterproofing and Testing

The treated area (flat and horizontal only) shall be tested by
allowing water to stand on the treated areas to a depth of 150mm for
a minimum period of 72 hours.
The treated area (flat and horizontal) shall have a continuous
slope towards the rainwater outlets and no water shall pond anywhere
on the surface.
The roofs shall be water-tight and shall be tested on completion
by flooding the roof with water to a minimum depth of 25mm fir 24
hrs. Where it is impracticable, because of roof falls or otherwise, to
contain a 25mm depth of water, the roof shall have water applied by a
continuous hose of sprinkler system to provide a sheet flow of water
over the entire area of the roof for not less than 6 hrs. In either
case the roof shall be considered satisfactory if no leaks or damp
patches show on the soffit. Should the structure not satisfy either of
these tests, then after completion of the remedial work, it should be
retested in accordance with this clause.

The roof insulation and

covering should be completed as soon as possible after satisfactory

testing.
