QAP Plan For Biratnagar Airport
QAP Plan For Biratnagar Airport
1 INTRODUCTION
1. OBJECTIVE
The main objective of this Quality Assurance Plan is to include and evaluate detailed procedural steps in standard check lists
designed for quality assessment of construction materials and items to be used in the project works.
In these procedures, Quality Assurance (QA) is defined as the planned and systematic set of actions required to provide
confidence that the project will be completed safely, on time, within budget, by competent personnel, as per specifications,
drawings and with good construction practices.
2. METHOD
In general, check sheets have been designed for use to list the planned sequence of activities to carry out items of work, assigned
to the person who will be responsible for proper performance of each step as to when verification of satisfactory performance is
required. Responsible persons signing and dating the appropriate spaces on the QA check sheets will record documentation of the
QA activities. Check sheets will be filled out in duplicate and maintained by our responsible personnel. We will forward original
check sheet to the Employer’s Representative upon the former’s requirement.
Typical check sheets will be prepared for major items of work to be completed at site. Specific items may require revision in
check sheets to reflect the actual activities. Depending upon the site condition and requirement, activities that are not relevant will
be deleted and any other necessary activities added. Such revised sheets will be submitted to the BSHP representative for
concurrence prior to start the said item work.
2 PROJECT ORGANISATIONS
The objective of this procedure is to ensure clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities of our personnel and
management/administrative practices at the Biratnagar Airport Terminal Construction.
1. Task Responsibility
Task responsibility is always a function that depends upon its holder and holders are also subject to substitutions, hence
responsibility becomes a variable from shoulder to shoulder. In absence of described positions in the manual, the project manager
will fulfill the said responsibility.
A set of all-applicable of health and safety procedures, including any amendments and additions necessary for the conditions at
site, will be kept at the site. For QA purposes, the Project Manager\QAE or other experienced safety officer will review the
content and adequacy of this set of procedures.
3 ENVIRONMENTAL
There shall be a regular check that the environmental requirements of the contract are being satisfied, and that construction works
at site has a minimal impact on the environment as far as possible.
Following environmental issues will be monitored regularly to ensure contractual requirements are being set.

addition to the testing requirements described above, the Contractor shall carry out
additional testing as instructedby the Engineer.
Testing Of Welds.
The tests shall be carried out by the methods described in BS 709. The following
requirements shall also be met with.
General
In any respect, the test results of welded joints shall not be inferior to the British
Standardtest
requirements for the parent material.
Procedure Trials
Should the average impact value obtained from any set of 3 Charpy V-notch tests on
specimens fail to comply with the requirements, 3 additional test pieces from the same
sample shall be tested. The average of the 6 test results shall comply with the test
requirements in order to qualify for acceptance.
Revised Procedures.
In the event of failure to meet the requirements, the Contractor shall carry out further trials,
using revised procedures, and further tests to the satisfaction of the Engineer.
Production Tests
Should any one of the weld joint test pieces selected for transverse tensile and transverse
bend tests fail to comply with the test requirements applicable to parent metal of the joint
represented by the test, additional specimens shall be taken from the same production test
plates and the test shall be repeated. Should any of the additional test fail to comply with the
Should the average impact value obtained from any set of 3 Charpy V-notch specimens selected
fail to comply with the test requirements, 3 additional test pieces from the same production test
plates shall be tested. Should the average of the 6 results fail to comply with the test
requirements the joint shall be rejected.
In the event of failure to meet the test requirements, the welded joint represented bythe tests shall be completely cut
out. The joint shall then be re-welded and the test repeated.
Non-destructive Testing.
A method of non-destructive testing agreed with the Engineer shall be used for the examination
of butt welds in tension members.
3. Brick Works
Following tests are conducted on bricks to determine its suitability for construction work.
1. Absorption test
2. Crushing strength test
3. Hardness test
4. Shape and size
5. Color test
6. Soundness test
7. Structure of brick
8. Presence of soluble salts (Efflorescence Test)
1. Absorption test
Absorption test is conducted on brick to find out the amount of moisture content absorbed by
brick underextreme conditions. In this test, sample dry bricks are taken and weighed. After
weighing these bricks are placed in water with full immersing for a period of 24 hours. Then
weigh the wet brick and note down itsvalue. The difference between dry and wet brick weights
will give the amount of water absorption. For a good quality brick, the amount of water
absorption should not exceed 20% of weight of dry brick.
2. Crushing Strength test
3. Hardness test
A good brick should resist scratches against sharp things. So, for this test a sharp tool or
fingernail is used to make scratch on brick. If there is no scratch impression on brick then it is
said to be hard brick.

should be of same size. The shape of bricks should be purely rectangular with sharp
edges. Standard brick size consistslength x breadth x height as 19cm x 9cm x 9cm.
To perform this test, select 20 bricks randomly from brick group and stack them along
its length, breadth and height and compare. Therefore, if all bricks similar size then they
are qualified for construction work.
5. Color Test
A good brick should possess bright and uniform color throughout its body.
6. Soundness Test
Soundness test of bricks shows the nature of bricks against sudden impact. In this test,
2 bricks are chosenrandomly and struck with one another. Then sound produced
should be clear bell ringing sound and brickshould not break. Then it is said to be good
brick.
