ORIENTATION

FOR
PROJECT
IMPLEMENTATION
Activities to be Undertaken

I.Pre-Construction Stage
1. Familiarize with the project documents.
• Contract
(Read/study the content of the contract particularly the
items of work involved).
• PERT CPM/S-Curve
(Check the critical activities in the PERT CPM,see to it
that the S-Curve and PERT CPM are posted in the bunk
house/field office).
• Plan and Specification
(Study/familiarize with the plan).
I. Pre-Construction Stage
2. Conduct of “As- Staked” Survey
Joint survey shall be conducted by the
representatives of the Contractor, Planning
Section and P.E.
II. Construction Stage
1. Inspection
Purpose of Inspection
a. To ensure that requirements of the contract
documents will be carried out.
b. To avoid the use of unacceptable substitutes.
c. To avoid errors that might result to
unnecessary maintenance cost.
d. To minimize extra cost.
e. To evaluate the guaranteed materials and
workmanship at the time of installation.
 Inspection Frequency
• A. One Time
- only one(1) inspection is required.
• B. Critical Point
- one time inspection that may be performed at a
specific point in the construction sequence before the
next phase of construction takes place.
• C. Intermittent Spot-checks
- random or regular spot checks.
• D. Continous Monitoring
- some operations, due to their inherent critical or
variable nature require the full presence of the inspector.
 Inspection Activity
A. One Time
- check contractor’s equipment.
- inspect material at supplier’s facilities for
source approval.
- inspect laboratory and testing facilities for
approval prior to use.
- check initial layout, closing error and survey.
- inspect centerline survey and stakeout.
 Inspection Activity
• B. Critical Point
- Inspect subgrade, subbase and base before placing
the next structure layer.
- inspect forms, falsework and reinforcement before
placing concrete.
- check bearing surface before placing foundations.
- check all materials to be covered before backfill
operations.
- check bearings before placing bridge superstructure.
- check excavation before placing drainage structure
or utilities.
 Inspection Activity
• B. Critical Point
- check temporary shoring before work in deep
excavations.
- check grade before placing sod for compliance
with plan and adequate drainage.
- inspect other miscellaneous critical points in
specialized situations.
 Inspection Activity
• C. Spot Checks
- check layout and elevations.
- inspect fill material aggregates and stockpiles
for contamination and proper handling.
- inspect stockpiles of other materials( such as
pipes and reinforcing steel) for damage.
- inspect backfilling and embankment
operations for compliance with specifications.
- inspect drainage structures, manholes, catch
basins, pipe laying and other minor structures for
proper materials, conformance with plans and
 Inspection Activity
• C. Spot Checks
- inspect subbase for line, level, moisture content and
compaction.
- check for all required test and sample.
a. asphalt temperature, density
b. concrete slump, cylinders
c. soil bearing capacity, moisture content and density
- check safety requirements, traffic control, falsework,
shoring of excavations, scaffolding, etc.
- inspect concrete during curing.
 Inspection Activity
• D. Continous
- structural or paving concrete production at batch
plant.
- bituminous concrete production at plant.
- placement of pavement concrete.
- placement of bituminous concrete.
- pile driving operations.
- rolling of compaction operations of bituminous
materials.
- placing of structural concrete.
 QUALITY CONTROL PROCESS
• Acceptance

- Two (2) inspection required to close out the

project
a. establish all areas requiring corrections or
remedial works. (punch list)
b. the final inspection verifies the “ check off”
to assure that all works are substantially completed
and all corrections have been made.
 QUALITY CONTROL PROCESS
• Conditions for Acceptance of Materials

- No material shall be incorporated into the work until

tested and found satisfactory.
- the approval of preliminary samples shall not be
considered as a guarantee of acceptance of all materials from
the same source, as to quality or quantity of such materials.
- any material which had been sampled and passed as
satisfactory may be re-sampled and re-tested anytime
before, and after incorporation into the work.
 QUALITY CONTROL PROCESS
• Acceptance/Rejection of Materials/Work

- Do not accept defective materials/work until it

conforms/meets the specification.
- Assess price adjustment against the approved
contract to compensate for the losses and/or the
maintenance cost of substandard work.
- Accept only complying work or materials.

 SITE INSTRUCTIONS
Site instructions are the written instructions in a form of memorandum/letter
pertaining to the noted discrepancies in project implementation. These
shall be reviewed by the inspectors and spot verification shall be done to determine
the compliance of action taken on the issued instructions.

Other Inspection Reports:

Pre-final inspection reports made by the Inspectorate Team enumerating the

defects/defeciencies noted in the project including the recommendation to correct
those deffects.

Copies of assessment reports done by the QAU during regular assessment,if any, in
order
to determine/verify if the recommended course of actios on the noted
defects/defeciencies were already rectified by the Contractor.
