QP(S)s primarily role is to ensure safety and quality construction by the main contractor and
serve as the technical advisor to LTA on the matter of supervision . As no formal contract exists
between The Main contractor and QP(S) , all dealing are through LTA and no changes in the design

As the main contract is a Design and Build contract , the main contractor has engaged the design
firm (Fong Consult Pte. Ltd) to undertake the full design based on LTAs tender development
drawings and also based on further data/information collected by the main contractor.

The main contractor had also engaged Er. Dr. Goh Sew Khee as PE for temporary works as well as
PE (TERS) for temporary earth retaining structures .

At the same time , LTA has also engaged Accredited Checker ( AC) namely Mr. Chitaldroog
Keshava Murthy to provide the required check on permanent design of the works, as well as for
the checking of the AIP documents. Where necessary, an AC will also be engaged by LTA.

QP(S) role is mainly to carry out supervision duties and checking services for method statements
and other proposals submitted by KCTC. The temporary works which are not deemed to be checked
by an AC are also to be checked by QP(S). However, the permanent design check , obtainment of
the permit to carry out structural works from the BCA, and modifications, if any, at construction
stage are to be handled by the QP(D) .

The full scope of works for QP(S) is as described in the contract document for ER356QP
