QMP Excavation
1. Introduction
- This document constitutes the Quality Plan of the Excavation Activity and it is an
appendix to the project plan.
a. Purpose and objectives
- Quality Management in the Excavation assures the quality of the Excavation
deliverables and the quality of the processes and procedures used to manage and
develop the deliverable of the activity.
- The purpose of this document is to describe the necessary information required to
manage the quality of Excavation from planning to delivery, comprising quality
objectives in Excavation, roles and responsibilities, and the Quality Management
approach to ensure that the quality objectives are achieved.
b. Reviews and approval
- This Quality Plan is to be continually reviewed, and any changes to the plan will be
handled by the project's procedure for Change Management.
- The plan is approved by the Project Manager.
2. Quality Objectives
- The Quality Objectives for Quality Management in Excavation are to assure that:
▪ Activity deliverables meet their stated requirements.
▪ Project Management processes are appropriately followed.
3. Quality Management Approach
- The quality management approach is about to ensure that all personnel in the project
"does the right things, right, the first time". Thus avoiding misunderstandings of what
to produce and how, resulting in productivity losses, quality losses and schedule
delays.
- This is going to be achieved by
▪ Early identification and reviews of all quality-impacting documents.
▪ Reviews of all quality-impacting documents.
▪ Using the well-defined and anchored quality standards and procedures
already in use for each work package.
▪ Using Customer Satisfaction as a Quality Control tool .
4. Quality Control
a. Project deliverables
- Listed below is the activity in sequence for the excavation:
1. Staking of the area were to be excavated including the clearance for the slope
according to the depth of the excavation.
2. Commence manual excavation if underground cables or underground
infrastructure are present in the area, then install temporary support if
necessary and warning sign to protect, then commence mechanize excavation
using an excavator.
3. Always establish a minimum 1-meter distance between your excavation limit
and the excavated materials and the side shall be slope to avoid caving in.
4. If the deep of the excavation exceeds 1.2 meters establish a benching with a
minimum width of 1 meter to accommodate the well point of the dewatering
system then install and commission the dewatering system.
5. Twenty-four (24) hours after the dewatering system was commissioned and
the water table has been lowered to a depth of at least 300mm below the
excavation level.
6. Commence sub-grade preparation by doing watering and compaction using a
plate compactor in order to meet the minimum required compaction density
which is 95%.
7. Once the sub-grade passes the compaction test, proceed for the next activity.
5. Quality Assurance
a. Contractual Requirements
- The quality assurance requirements base in our contract specification are the
following:
1. Prior to the construction activity RC Engineer shall inspect the area to verify
the area of the repair.
2. RC Engineer shall inspect the approved materials which will be incorporated
into works.
3. RC engineers shall inspect hold point release (HPR) and witness points as
per ITP.
b. Critical Works
- The critical works will be in the compaction either the sub-base as if the watering and
compaction procedure is not properly carried out it will surely fail in the compaction
test as all testing shall be witness by the RC Engineer. In addition to this in the
excavation proper benching and storing of excavated materials shall be implemented
as the RC Engineer will also check these activities.
