8.0 Progress Control This section of the Manual outlines requirements and
procedures for construction scheduling and control of work progress. 8.1
Construction Work Program The Contractor is required to submit a detailed work
program for execution of the works as per the QMS Process S00/PO/P/03 Project
Planning & Budgeting process site. This program must show the following, as a
minimum:
Itemized work activities to be executed, based on the Contracts Bill of Quantities,
indicating start and finish dates and scheduled achievement (progress) each month;
Sequencing of work and activity interdependence;
Calendar day estimates for submittal approvals; and
Calendar dates for achievement of various milestones, and for completion of works
by section and of the project as a whole, within the time periods provided for in the
Contract.
The Contractors program should show the critical path activities, and the float
available for activities outside the critical path. It should preferably be prepared
based on a commercially available project scheduling software package, such as
Microsoft Project / Primavera. The Contractor should also furnish a breakdown of his
anticipated monthly earnings for payments in accordance with the terms and
conditions set forth in the Contract. Based on work program, Contractor shall review
and submit it to the CLIENT as stipulated in the Contractor agreement for his review
and approval. Once approved, the program cannot be modified except with the prior
approval of the CLIENTs Representative. The CLIENT approval of the program
does not relieve the Contractor of his obligation to complete the works or sections of
work within the time periods stipulated in the Contract Agreement.
8.2 Progress control
The Contractor is required to undertake its activities in accordance with the approved
work program. Each month the contractor shall indicate the actual work completed
as compared to work scheduled as per the QMS Process S00/PO/P/04 Project
Monitoring Process site. In the event portions of the work are in danger of being
delayed, or actually are delayed, the contractor is to determine a plan for remedial
action. Various circumstances may justify the changing of contract requirements for
completion of the project on a specific date. Among these circumstances are items
not within the control of the Contractor, such as: changes to contract requirements
(modification of Contract); suspensions of work; delays in providing access; force
majure, etc. Generally, such occurrences will justify a delay in completion if they
affect activities on the critical path of the program. However, each instance must be
Al Fowriya Trading &
Project Quality Plan Contracting
carefully evaluated and fully documented before a decision can be made. The
following are guidelines for controlling work progress:
There should always be a baseline program. If changes to the baseline program are
required, an updated baseline program (baseline program no. 2, etc.) should be
created.
Unauthorized changes to completion milestones should not be allowed, unless
authorized by a contract modification.
Contractor shall monitor the progress of works and should update their completion
percentages and report to CLIENT through Monthly Progress Report.
When actual progress falls behind scheduled progress or when it appears that a
milestone will not be completed on time, the Contractor must identify the reasons for
delay and in conjunction with CLIENT the Contractor make recommendations for
remedial actions.

CONSTRUCTION QUALITY CONTROL:
General: Quality control of materials forms an integral part of the overall construction
and supervision function. Taken properly into account, it provides the link between
the design and the finished works. Testing of construction materials is carried out for
a variety of reasons and purposes including:
Screening Tests (e.g. choosing a borrow source, an aggregate supplier, a
manufacturer / supplier of cement etc.)
Control Tests (e.g. sampling and testing of cement material delivered to site to
confirm adherence to project specifications and to confirm manufacturers Test
Certificate)
Audit Tests to verify independently the reported properties of materials
Trial Mixes (selection of appropriate concrete mix designs, design of bituminous
mixtures etc.)
Acceptance Tests (e.g. testing of cubes cast of produced concrete to confirm that
required strength is achieved and is consistent)
Special testing as may be deemed necessary and prudent
Test shall be carried out quality controls on the materials and work to the frequency
described in subsequent paragraphs. In the absence of clear indications about
method and or frequency of tests for any item, the direction of the CLIENT shall be
followed.
For satisfying himself about the quality of the materials and work, quality control tests
will also be conducted by the Contractor / CLIENT, generally to the frequency set
forth herein under. Additional tests may also be conducted where in the opinion of
the CLIENT need for
such tests exist.
Defective / Inferior quality of work shall be modified in the procedure of work, if found
necessary, as directed by the CLIENT during inspection.
The Contract rate quoted for various items of works by the contractor in the Bill of
Quantities or the lump sum amount tendered will be deemed to be inclusive of all
costs of the quality control test and operations necessary for ensuring quality of the
material and work so as to be in conformity with specification requirement.
All the tests to be conducted at laboratory and at site shall be documented as per the
format specified in the later part of the section. Usually the documentation shall be
maintained in such a fashion that it shall be very easy traceable with a specific RFI
No. mentioned with date in layer chart for Pavement and in turn this shall be filed
with bituminous and Non-bituminous in a separate file / volume as a lot with several
sub lot. For all routine test for Pavements and other works, Borrow areas result,
Bought out items shall be maintained in a separate lot irrespective of section.
10.1.1 Methodology:
SURVEY WORKS
1. Topographical Surveying
The Surveying actively is undertaken for the determination of control points and to
afford sufficient data for the designing of engineering work such as site preparation
and pavements. In the beginning of commencing works on any project, the following
data shall be collected from Customer (Engineer / employer) or prepared by the
Contractor.
1.1.1 Vertical Control Points (VCP) The records of all GPS Points carrying details
shall be obtained from Customer (Engineer / employer). The data shall also include
the Reduced Levels (RLs) of all TBMs fixed with location sketch and adjustment
details from GPS to GPS.
1.1.2. Horizontal Control Points (HCP) The records of all GPS Points (X, Y)
position and intermediate traverse points with location sketches shall be received
from Customer (Engineer / employer). The data shall also include traverse carrying
data and adjustment details from GPS to GPS Point.
1.1.1.3 Proposed Centerline Coordinates The co-ordinates (X, Y) for proposed
centerline of the pavement. at a regular interval as specified by Customer (Engineer /
employer) shall be obtained.
1.2. Survey works Survey actually in any project involves three stages of surveying
necessary to be carried out at project sites. The survey work shall include
Before starting the construction activity, Temporary Bench Marks (TBM), shall be
established on the ground at specified interval. The control pillars shall be
constructed before start of conformation survey for VCPs & HCPs. The pillars shall
be constructed in staggered position within the project premises. The visibility
between proceeding pillar to succeeding pillar shall be maintained. The control pillars
are fixed at regular intervals of 250 or 200 meters.
The TBMs shall be used as reference points for executing the works in the particular
reach. The TBMs shall contain Reduced Levels of the ground and changing of that
location. These shall be
Checked periodically once in 3 months to ascertain the sanctity of levels. The levels
shall be entered as per Rise & Fall for TBM Verification. The data shall be used for
preparing site leveling & earthwork excavation plan, cross-section of the Pavement
and working drawings. The centerline is also fixed for reference and execution.
1.3 Survey work while execution
Based on the reference of TBM along with reduced levels and centerline, each
activity of the work during execution shall be carried out.
1.4 Survey work on completion of job After completion of work, Reduced Levels
shall be taken up on the works, so as to ascertain the true levels as mentioned in the
drawing are transferred to site. In case of any deviation, such changes shall be
recorded and as built up drawing shall be prepared.
1.5 Confirmation of Survey works Immediately after receiving the survey data
from the Customer (Engineer / employer), the Contractor shall confirm the survey
data of the entire project. The confirmation process shall include the following
aspects
1.5.1 Confirmation of Vertical Control Points The confirmation of Vertical Control
Points (VCP) shall be undertaken by surveying from GPS to GPS points. The Rise
and Fall method shall be adopted for TBM Confirmation Survey. The control pillars
established shall be connected by this survey work. The TBM level after the survey
work is recorded.
1.5.2 Confirmation of Horizontal Control Points The confirmation of Horizontal
Control Points (HCP) shall be undertaken by surveying from a pair of GPS points to
another pair of GPS Points. These values shall be checked with the values given by
the Customer (Engineer / employer). The traverse points established shall be
identified with nail punched on top of Pavement to get the exact point and shall be
encircled with paint of golden yellow color.
1.6 Transferring Survey Data to Control Pillars
1.6.1 HCPs to Pillars Once survey data of HCP is confirmed and control pillars are
constructed, the coordinates (X, Y) shall be transferred from nails to control pillars by
the Total Station. The transferring of levels and coordinates from nails to pillars shall
be prepared.
1.6.2 VCPs to Pillars Once levels of TBM are confirmed and control pillars are
constructed, the levels (Z Co-ordinates are transferred from permanent benchmark
to pillar. The transferring of levels from permanent benchmark to Pillars shall be
prepared.
1.7 Detailed Survey work for runways and Taxiways
