B.1
PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to define the objectives of the Integrated Audits to
cover all Key Supply Chain Partners (KSCPs) involved in the delivery of a road
construction project for PWA. The integrated audit described in this procedure
represents the audit execution phase of the overall auditing plan shown in Figure 1.
The document also defines the audit activities, extents and frequencies, audit teams,
schedule for each type of audits. \
Figure 1. Project Audit and Testing Procedures

PAGE B-3

B.2
BACKGROUND
Based on the critical review of the auditing conducted during the first year of the
QA/QC project, during which individual disconnected audits of various production
and construction activities were conducted, ANAS agreed with PWA that conducting
integrated project audits is a better approach to monitor quality. Integrated audits
include linking all required audit activities related to a project and covering larger
project audit area. The audits require spending more time analyzing projects,
preparing and conducting the audits, and integrating the results from auditing
activities of all KSCPs.
B.3
AUDIT SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES
The Integrated Audit spans across the supply chain related to road construction for
PWA Projects. The Supply Chain can be grouped into four major categories:
Pavement design
Materials Supplier and Production Facilities
o Material Supplier1(Aggregate and Asphalt Binder),
o Mixtures/Materials Production
Crusher plants;
Wet mix plants;
Asphalt plants.
Site Laboratories
Construction Practices and Project Quality Management

o Program Management Consultants;
o Supervision Consultants;
o Construction Contractors and Sub-Contractors;
o Third Party Laboratories.
Post construction
o International Roughness Index (IRI) as per project requirements.
The Integrated Audit activities include the following Steps:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Review the Pavement Design Report and project construction layout;

Auditing the materials handling, storage and transportation (*);
Production Facilities and Laboratory at-Plant;
Construction Practices;
Third Party Laboratory (material sampling, testing and QC records) - For
planning the PQMA audits and collecting QC data;
6. Quality Management protocols for all KSCPs - For auditing of project quality
management procedures as related to technical matters.

Audits on bitumen sources/Suppliers (i.e. refineries, WOQOD) will be confirmed upon finalization of materials
importation framework
Audits on aggregates sources/crushers outside state of Qatar (UAE) to be confirmed upon finalization of
materials importation framework

CONSTRUCTION PRACTICE AUDITS
As for any process, pavement construction has inputs and outputs. Identifying,
monitoring, controlling, and improving the process inputs will directly affect the
quality of the process outputs. The scope of this audit covers the verification of all
the major process inputs directly related to pavement construction practices, which
are expected to impact on the quality of the constructed pavement.

AUDIT OF CONSTRUCTED PAVEMENT

(POST-CONSTRUCTION)
This Audit of the constructed pavement is the last audit performed on the final
pavement structure being delivered to the road agency. The objective of this activity
is to review the complete process that was followed by the Supervision Consultant to
ensure that the as-built pavement conforms to the project specifications and the
quality requirements of PWA. The Audit process will identify as-built information such
as the different pavement cross-sections in a project, layer thicknesses and material
types. This information will be compared to the materials testing report and
construction practices findings.

INTEGRATED AUDIT REPORTS AND PERIODIC UPDATES
Every Project will have an Audit Report. The initial copy of the Integrated Audit report
for each project will be submitted after the first three months upon the completion of
the auditing activities listed in B10. The report will be then updated every three
months when the PQMA audits are completed for each project. It will include the
following items:
Description of audit scope and objectives

Reference documents
Audit teams
Audit schedule
Audit forms with collected evidences for all audit activities
Materials Test reports
List of Unacceptable observations and Non Conformances (ANCRs)
ANAS recommendations on the corrective action plans submitted by the
KSCP to PWA and actions taken by each KSCP.
