The Material Inspection – A Quality Engineer Task

-
When you will enter to a quality assurance and quality control world and it’s your first time to start work on a project site. You might ask this “What is the first thing that I would check?” There are several things that you will check, but the material upon arrival on site is one of the important that you should be checking along the way.
You could ask the Inspection and Test Plan for a certain work in which the material that you would like to check belongs to. So you can identify what would be your next action.
Once you obtained the material approval report or MAR for the certain material. You are now ready to check the material arrived on site. Now! This might be your question “What if the material arrived is not yet approved, what will I do?” Here is what you will do and in case that the material is being reviewed by consultant and it’s eventually be approved later then you may still submit the material inspection with comment as “awaiting approval.”
Here are the steps to follow to checking the materials on your site at the first time.
materialinspection
1. Obtain Delivery Note
Always ask your storekeeper for the arrived material on site and collect the delivery note of that. Just make a routine every morning or every other day on this task, especially if the project has just started. It is expected that there will be volumes of materials that will be arriving.
This should be your initiative as a quality assurance and quality control engineer, be proactive on this task.
In case you are handling subcontractor, then request them to submit their material inspection and ask them the delivery note, approved material submittal, packing list and mill test certificate whenever required.
2. Fill the Material Inspection Form
Fill up the material inspection form with the description of items from the delivery note. Just make sure that all spaces provided from the material inspection form are filled up.
3. Attachment for the Material Inspection
The first attachment is the Material Approval Report (MAR) or approved material submittal. The delivery note is the second attachment of your material inspection. And attach the packing list whenever required.
If your material is related to steel structural works, you should attach the “Mill Test Certificate” of such material.
4. Joint Inspection With The Consultant
If you have completed the arrangement of your material inspection and compiled everything needed. So you are now going to bring the consultant for a joint inspection of your material on site. Just make sure that the materials that you are going to present with the consultant are accessible and stored in a storage yard nearby on your project site.

The Most Common Method To Check The Connection Bolts For Tightness

The steel structure project is the easiest work to do. You know why? It will just start with anchor bolt installation, checking the distances of the anchor bolts and the critical distance. Ensuring the locations and level by providing survey report. Erecting the steel members start from column bracing, rafters, purlins, beam, joist etc. A tremendously easy and can be erected quickly. Steel structure work is really different from concrete structure, concrete works are more complex, especially when the project is a high-rise concrete structure. Therefore, the foundation will be huge enough to carry all the load transferred from superstructure then follows the complexity of the construction of foundation towards superstructure. In concrete structure, steel reinforcement holds the concrete elements that make it stand and firm, but in steel structure, it’s either the rivets or bolts that held it stand. So, I am going to write the most common method of checking the tightness of connect

Method Statement for Application of Waterproofing Membrane

  Method Statement for Application of Waterproofing Membrane The purpose of the method statement for application of waterproofing is to prevent the water to percolate or penetrate into any underground concrete members. When the water penetrates into the sub-grade concrete-like foundation such as mat foundation, footing, tie beam, etc. the steel reinforcement that embedded in the concrete would corrode due to a chemical reaction caused by water and the structure would eventually fail. Application of  waterproofing  especially for large structures would have to be strictly supervised by a quality engineer in order to prevent failure of application or nonconformity to the quality procedure. In this method statement for application of waterproofing membrane, we’ll be going to use the membrane type waterproofing, this type of  waterproofing  is advisable for structures like high-rise buildings which has a deeper foundation where water pressure is extremely high. Here is the method s

Method Statement for Installation of Anchor Bolts

Method Statement for Installation of Anchor Bolts Construction of a pre-engineered structure such as steel structure is a challenging work. It requires the full attention of qualified staff.  It also needs a qualified  QAQC Engineer  to inspect the work of a construction team to ensure that the completed work is fully compliant with the project requirement. One of the most challenging jobs in the construction of steel structure is the installation of anchor bolts where it is considered to be an ankle joint of a steel column. A method statement of the installation of anchor bolt should be developed to make sure that the process is true against the approved drawing and the most important, it should be within the safe working condition. Here is the method statement for installation of anchor bolts. 1. Title Method Statement for Installation of Anchor Bolts 2. Purpose This method statement shows and explains the procedure must be followed to install the anchor bolts for s
