3. Introduction
●Quality control plans are often
viewed as a set of instructions
that should be followed.
●They document the planning,
implementation, and assessment
procedures for a project, as well
as any QA or QC activities.

4. Signature Sheet

5. General Approach to the Quality control
The quality control plan is designed to be both
preventive and corrective in nature.
Preventive :
● The purpose of the plan is to evaluate
and inspect construction materials,
methods of Workmanship, plan, and
specifications.
● Review details in advance to ensure that
Work to be accomplished will meet the
required quality (proactive).
Corrective:
●It is the responsibility of quality
control plan management
team’s to address all identified
Non –Conformances in both
materials and workmanship,
and to implement the
corrective Action necessary to
correct the defects.

6. Plan Revision and Distribution
●The quality control plan will be revised and updated when changes in the
quality Organization Or quality Procedures occur.
●The QC Engineer is responsible for updating and revising the plan, and for
replacing obsolete issue (s) by the revised issues for all the holder of the
plan.

7. Program Criteria
●Construction activities will be accomplished under controlled condition, which
Includes appropriate equipment, procedures, suitable environment and
assurance that all quality prerequisites for the given activity have been
satisfied.
●Nonconforming, parts and services will be identified and corrected by timely
and positive action.
● list of the definable features of construction work of this project will be
outlined and client representatives will review and agree on the definable
feature of work under each specification section.

8. Organization and
Operations
SCOPE:
This section establishes the
organizational structure and
responsibilities of personnel
Involved in the management,
direction, and execution of
this Quality Control Program.

9. Operation
In this part the company will illustrate how to implement the control process.
●The AACC Quality control Manager in main office is responsible for the Purchase
Order conditions, verifying the product meets the specifications and inspections
of delivered products in our warehouses.
●Job Site QC personal with inspect and approve material when it arrives on the
site, perform local in country inspections, inspect work at site including
subcontractor’s work and prepare daily reports of Quality activates
●The Quality Control Program will include sufficient number of QC Engineers on
sites.

10. Subcontractor Quality Control
●The quality control engineers from the Contractor’s organization will be
assigned and authorized to control quality of work of each
sub-contractors if applicable.
●Subcontractor’s work quality will be controlled though preparatory
inspections followed by initial and follow-up inspections.
● Now there is no sub-contractor for this project to perform construction
work. NUCC performs all work with individual skilled labors and operators
of the equipment.

11. Inspecting, Meeting and Reporting
●This section establishes the requirements for the inspection and testing of
construction activities affecting quality to assure conformance with the
requirements of the contract specifications.

12. Construction Inspection
●The QC Engineers or his assistant for this site will be responsible for performing
inspections and testing to verify that field construction and installation activities of
AACC and subcontractors meet the requirements of the project specifications.
●Quality control representatives in accordance with quality control procedures will
inspect construction and installation activities; See appendices for sample quality
control procedure.
●Construction and testing activities, which do not conform to quality control
Procedure requirements, will be documented on appropriate forms and non-
conformance reports will be issued by quality control Representatives.
●Weekly QC Staff Meeting will be held to share and discuss most common
non-conformance items (to prevent reoccurrence), needed inspection forms or tools
