are on hand and comply with the Contract requirements
Subsequent to the preparatory inspection and prior to commencement of work, LITERNO COMPANY shall
instruct each applicable worker on the level of workmanship required to meet contract specifications.

7.2 PHASE II - INITIAL INSPECTIONS


Initial phase inspections will be performed as soon as a representative portion of the particular feature of
work has been accomplished. Initial inspections include, but are not limited to, examination of the quality of
workmanship; review of control testing for compliance with control requirements; and identification of
defective or damaged materials, omissions, and dimensional requirements. The initial phase inspection is the
time to discuss and agree on the required level of quality associated with a given work activity. Any
discrepancies relative to work quality should be addressed at this time.

7.3 PHASE III - FOLLOW-UP INSPECTIONS


Follow-up inspections will be performed daily as work progresses to ensure continuing compliance with
contract requirements, including control testing, until completion of the particular feature of work. Final
follow-up inspections will be conducted and deficiencies corrected prior to beginning new work.
The QCM will notify DNO at least 24 hours in advance of any inspections. Notification and meeting minutes
of all inspections will be recorded in the Daily Quality Control Report.

10. Delays encountered.
11. Directions received from the Engineer and actions taken.
12. Health and safety issues or deficiencies and how they were resolved.
13. Deficiencies.

10.0 REVISIONS TOWORK


LITERNO COMPANY will be responsible for ensuring total compliance of field work to the project
specifications. Should modifications or revisions to the specifications become necessary, LITERNO
COMPANY will make the request, in writing, to DNO. Approval from DNO must be received prior to
allowing the modifications or revisions to be made in the field. The QCM will be informed of and record all
such requests in his daily log and on the daily quality control report.
According to ISO 9001, it is mandatory to implement a prepared construction QCP to ensure quality of
construction is carried out according to approved scopes, plans, drawings, specifications, codes and
standards. The key elements of QCP or field inspection guidelines are:
1. Inspection criteria
2. LITERNO COMPANY operations
3. QCP operations
4. Documentations
5. Construction inspection checklist
The parties responsible for testing in the QCP are stated clearly in the QCP, for project of RQ-14056-
Project Name RQ-14056- Manual Excavation of 12 Export Pipeline buried sections for Inspection
Page 9

Manual Excavation of 12 Export Pipeline buried sections for Inspection:


1. DNO project manager
2. LITERNO COMPANY project manager
3. DNO Design Engineer
4. Dohuk Laboratory for Testing Construction Materials
The criterion for the QCP is based on:
1. The construction contract between DNO Company and LITERNO COMPANY Group
2. Contract information on drawings
3. Cods
4. Standards
5. Laws
The criteria should provide to the QCP personnel.
The construction contract has to be examined regularly by QCP to check wither the work has been performed
according to contract. LITERNO COMPANYHAS TO BE INFORMED IN WRITTING FOR NON-
CONFIRMING WORK, LITERNO COMPANY has to take a propagate correction actions.
Proper procedure for communication has to establish among inspection and testing personnel. Reporting and
Documentation is essential in the QCP, proper Documentation of the observations, Investigations and review
of inspection is mandatory in Ibrahim’s Company QCP system.
These several reports are generated to Our QCP for exam.
1. Daily inspection reports
2. Non-Confirming reports
3. Material testing reports
4. Environmental Compliance reports
5. Many more will be agreed during execution of work
QCP has the most appropriate reporting and documentations. Furthermore, in order to track corrections
actions on non-confirming work, tracking system should be in place in the QCP.
According to our Company’s QCP, the “hold” in “hold point” refers to putting a hold on construction
activities until an inspection is passed. Construction inspection hold points are particularly important when
work cannot be inspected later because a problem could be covered up. For example, a hold point before a
concrete pour permits verification of steel reinforcing before it is covered with concrete.
Another example, we don’t start steel erection until the foundation inspection is completed because dealing
with dimensional errors as steel is going up can be very costly. Hold points should be listed on inspection

Project Name RQ-14056- Manual Excavation of 12 Export Pipeline buried sections for Inspection
Page 10

and test plans so everyone knows when a hold point is in effect. Properly used, hold
points can be an effective tool to control construction so that quality can be assured.
Hold Point is a mandatory verification point beyond which work cannot proceed without approval by the
DNO Engineer. The work cannot proceed until the DNO Engineer is able to verify the quality of the
completed work and releases the Hold by means of Inspection Request approval, which will submit by
LITERNO COMPANY during the work process.
A quality Inspection plan is not the same as an Inspection Checklist. A QCPP tells you when in the process
to perform an inspection. The details of the inspection are contained in the checklist, and are typically
recorded there.
A QCP might refer to different checklists for each inspection point, or could refer to a code or standard that
sets out the requirements for what and how the check must be performed.
The QCP is like a Work Instruction and the Checklist is a form that becomes the actual record. Both the QCP
and Checklist are documents that must be controlled. All construction material have to test before using in an
independent laboratory approved by DNO, here is a list of material required for project and the required tests
to each and every material:
up in the next stage or work, Prior to cover foundations, prior to fix reinforcement steel, prior to pour
concrete.

Each checklist will also include a header to collect project information, date, final signoff, and other
identifying information.

All of the concrete works on of the project of RQ-14056- Manual Excavation of 12 Export Pipeline
buried sections for Inspection should include and be based around some form of a quality inspection plan.
This QCP is intended to maintain the quality of the concrete works of the project of Pad 3 containment wall
northern bund.

Concrete is a critical structural component of the project of RQ-14056- Manual Excavation of 12 Export
Pipeline buried sections for Inspection and the integrity along with the form work and other phases of
concrete manufacture and delivery are important for getting DNO structures and assets right.

After all of these inspections and tests have been completed and signed off by DNO and LITERNO
COMPANY Group’s QCP can be reviewed, signed off and the concrete pour can go ahead.

The specific QA Plan and its referenced procedures constitute the documented
Project Quality Management System, which shall be applied to satisfy requirements of the Project and the
relevant provisions of DNO COMPANY. A Project QA engineer, reporting to the Project Manager, will be
appointed to monitor compliance of all applicable procedures. Furthermore, QA audits will be carried out
during the Project process to verify the effectiveness of the Project Quality System Quality control and
Quality assurance will be performed by LITERNO COMPANY Group’s Staff with corporation with DNO
COMPANY representatives and Governorate laboratory team. The required tests for all materials will be
carried out in Governorate central laboratories in Dohuk.
During the course of the work(s) it will be a requirement of the Company representative to have the right to
inspect any operations /activities prior to the next stage being allowed to commence. LITERNO COMPANY
plans the Quality control for the project RQ-14056- Manual Excavation of 12 Export Pipeline buried
sections for Inspection as a part of quality management. This ensures that anything built with in the project
will be usable by DNO. Quality management measures the quality of a unit against the established standards
to determine whether something is up to standard. In order to ensure quality, LITERNO COMPANY uses a
variety of tests and inspection. Quality control manager works on more than just the material level.
Inspectors or quality control officers can test quality at various levels of completion as well. LITERNO
COMPANY uses this to ensure its work will pass inspection in the end and avoid expensive rework.
LITERNO COMPANY always ensures it is using quality materials. This also prevents later rework since
LITERNO COMPANY can prove the materials weren’t faulty, to begin with. It also can prevent expensive
lawsuits due to any issues because of poor quality materials.
The Quality Control Manager will report directly to the On-site Project Manager with matters concerning
quality control. He will have both the authority and the duty to halt any operation appearing to be out of
compliance with contract specifications.
The QCM is responsible for keeping and maintaining all records related to personnel, supplies, equipment
use, and equipment calibration and sampling. His function will be to ensure compliance with the contract
plans and specifications.
The QCM or an alternate will be on-site when work is being performed. The Site Safety and Health Officer
will report to the Certified Industrial Hygienist and be responsible for the implementation of the approved
Site Health and Safety Plan; including conducting required safety inspections, safety briefings, and reports of
safety-related activities.
The project Superintendent will be responsible for supervising all field activities. His duties include
supervision of the craft labor (equipment operators, truck drivers, and laborers), technical staff (survey crew),

Project Name RQ-14056- Manual Excavation of 12 Export Pipeline buried sections for Inspection

and all subcontractors. The designated Superintendent is also responsible for the
maintenance of all on-site construction equipment
The Transportation and Disposal Coordinator will be experienced in gathering and analyzing data, and
developing and implementing sampling plans and quality control programs. The designated Contractor
representative will be responsible for the coordination of transportation and disposal at the Site.
The CQCP will be implemented in order to ensure compliance with the specifications for remedial action
construction as detailed in the contract specifications.
Quality control measures will extend to field sampling procedures; staffing; types of material and equipment
to be used; and methods of performing, documenting, and enforcing quality control operations of both the
Contractor and subcontractors (including inspection and testing).
The QCM will be responsible for ensuring that all materials and work comply with the contract specification.
The final inspection would make by LITERNO COMPANY and DNO at the end of the project. This
determines whether the project is usable because it checks the finished standards and drawings construction.
The main issue with this is that if there are issues with the project construction. At this level, the repairs are
more expensive because usually an entire section must be rebuilt. In order to prevent this, it is important for
LITERNO COMPANY to have some sort of construction quality control plan or quality management plan in
place. These standards are a great starting point for LITERNO COMPANY quality control plan:

11.2 ORGANIZATIONAL CHART AND DOCUMENTATION


The first part of a construction quality control plan is organizational chart. This allows DNO to determine
who is responsible for what. Having a page that shows the process and flow makes it easier to remember. It’s
also a great reference page in case anyone forgets. Along with the organizational chart there is
documentation of resumes or certifications. This page specifies what the qualifications of each member on
the chart.

11.3 SET THE RESPONSIBILITIES


The next section of a construction quality control plan specifies the responsibilities of the quality control
manager. It should also guarantee certain rights or powers to the quality control manager. The responsibilities
form lists out each of the individual duties so they can reference it at any moment. General responsibilities
include preparing, approving and implementing the construction quality control plan, maintaining
documents, verifying materials, etc. However, the details and responsibilities are laid out so there is no
confusion. There should also be a Stop Work Authorization Letter. This letter, gives the quality control
manager the ability to stop work that is noncompliant to the standards, or with materials that don’t pass the
test.

11.4 DEFINING WORK


The next portion of a construction quality control plan specifies the work. Quality control managers write all
the defining features of the project. LITERNO COMPANY fills in how it will complete the work as well as
its primary point of contact. Now the quality control manager can easily reach them if something is amiss.

11.5 PHASES OF INSPECTION


There should be a section in the construction quality control plan that specifies the phases for inspection.
Often times there are preparatory meetings before certain elements are built to go over specifications, crew,
and more. There is usually an initial inspection, which verifies inspection and testing, establishes
workmanship level and verifies it, as well as re-examines work. Finally, there is the follow-up inspection.
This ensures that the final product is up to code and follows quality control procedures. The quality control
manager will ask contractors to replace any materials or parts that need to be.

11.6 QUALITY CONTROL TESTING AND VERIFICATIONS


The final section of the construction quality control plan has to cover a lot of ground. This section covers the
testing, verification, submittals, tracking, and weekly logs. It lays out the tests that will be administered; the
time frame the quality control manager must give before the test, what to happen when a test fails, how the
records will be stored, and the procedures around it. And it should also have a schedule of agencies that will
test and inspect, the field they will inspect, the estimated date and real date.
This section also informs people of what the procedures for submittals. This helps determine what should
happen if the submittal isn’t approved, along with what happens if it is approved. It should also include
where submittals will be kept.
Finally, there should be a section on tracking issues. This section is used to define what deficiencies and
issues are, as well as what the quality control manager will do if they’re found. The establishment of the
procedure helps keep everything running smoothly.
Along with these sections should be sample documents of the weekly log the quality control manager should
keep, along with the non-conformance report, weekly punch list, and prep meeting checklist. Quality control
managers should include these templates, since it makes it easier to find them. They also show everyone
what the proposed documents are so they can better work to them.
DNO Company is committed to Quality Assurance ("QA") and Quality Control (‘’QC’’) management
principles, and LITERNO COMPANY shall be expected to execute the Scope of work, according to the
same highest principles. LITERNO COMPANY shall provide DNO with a Quality Plan for DNO comment
