IntroductionThe company (Porter Consulting Engineers- PCE)) is in the process of tendering for a construction project with the aim of ensuring a high quality project is delivered. PCE has built a reputation for offering high quality jobs. The purpose of the QMP (quality management plan) is to ensure that the delivered War memorial cemetery Resurfacing project meets the design requirements and standards. The QMP ensures that the requisite information needed to manage the project quality effectively from planning to delivery is documented. This document defines the quality procedures, policies, application areas, criteria, roles and responsibilities, assumptions, as well as authorities. This QMP was creating as part of the project planning phase and will be used by the project team, the project manager and the sponsor of the projectQuality DefinitionQuality: In general terms, quality refers to the level where the service or product meets the expectations of the users and also meets its expectations (Kay 2014). In the context of project management, quality is the level which a service or product meets user expectations and are in alignment with its design specifications, conforming to design principles (Saladis & Kerzner 2013). For the War Memorial Resurfacing project, quality refers to the degree to which the project meets the approved design principles and conforms to the standards as set by the Astroads authority. Further, the quality parameters for this project refers to the road and materials used in its construction meeting the specific tests of the materials and finished road to ensure safety during operation and long lasting. The tests include technical laboratory tests. Assumptions and Constraints in the ProjectWhile assumptions must be made while undertaking projects, the constraints must be equally looked at and acknowledged. Constraints are usually the triple constraints of scope, cost, and schedule; assuming the project should take three months, this assumption must be considered alongside the constraint of time and scope (Campbell 2009). Assumptions are convictions of what you accept to be valid later on. Assumptions are made in view of your insight, encounter or the data accessible available. These are foreseen occasions or conditions that are relied upon to happen amid your undertaking's life cycle. Assumptions should be valid yet don't really wind up being valid. Now and then they may end up being false, which can influence your task
fundamentally. They add dangers to the undertaking since they could conceivably be valid. Assumptions are very important for the development of a project risk management plan (Taylor 2006). The assumptions made in this project are the following;All materials will be obtained and made available for the project, such as asphalt and aggregatesLabor will be available for all types of works for the projectThe machines and equipment to be used in the project will work as desiredAll important project stakeholders will attend meetings with stakeholdersThe executive sponsor and other sponsors will support the project fully until it is completedThere will be no major changes to weather during works that can adversely affect the project outcome, including significant delaysThe approved road designs are of high quality and represent final designs that will not need major changes in designAll the hired people, such as civil engineer and safety officers are sufficiently qualified and will perform their duties to the required standardsThe project will not be abandoned mid-way by the contracting authorityAll requisite funds will be made available as and when dueConstraints will not work to substantially alter the course and execution of the resurfacing projectThere will be no go slows by employees/ workers in the course of the projectThere will be no legal litigations against the project during the course of its undertaking that can substantially alter the scope or bring the project to a complete stopVarious sub-contractors and the main contractor are sufficiently qualified to do their jobOverview of the QMPResponsibilities, Organization, and InterfacesAccording to Gransberg (2010) testing and inspection for quality control are undertaken to make sure that tests for any sub-contractors and the main contractors’ work is planned sufficiently and that the requisite procedures for testing are availed so tests can be satisfactorily undertaken. The methods to be utilized when doing tests are established through this procedure. The test reports
will be submitted to the project manager and filed then logged with other relevant project documents as advised by East and Alfred (2016). A variety of tests relevant to the Perth War Memorial Resurfacing Project will be undertaken to ensure conformance with design standards as well as with government regulation and applicable laws for construction. The proposed tests will be given to the project manager and project stakeholders at least three days prior to the tests being undertaken. The manager, QC, must witness all the tests being undertaken by appropriate bodies/ organizations; qualified individuals will perform the tests. The scheduled tests on asphalt are shown in the Table below;PersonRoleQuality functionProject managerOverall Quality Assurance and managementQuality Control ManagerResponsible for managing overall quality assurance and controlCivil EngineerStructural and engineering Quality AssurancePurchasing managerIn charge of materials and equipment qualityInspectors (from local Authority and Ministry of Roads and transportEnsuring road resurfacing meets set standards for quality Table 1Tools and EnvironmentTest/ ToolDescriptionRelevant Standard/ RegulationCommentsPenetration testTo measure the hardness of asphalt by determining the depths, in tenths of millimeters to which a standard needle that Austroads 2003b
is loaded can vertically penetrate within 5 seconds (Lavin 2013)Ductility TestsThis is an asphalt quality that allows it to undergo significant/ great elongation or deformation. It’s the distance in cm, to which a standard material/ or briquette sample will elongate without breaking (Lavin 2013)Austroads 2003bSoftening Point testThis is the temperature where asphalt attainsa specified degree of softening under specified test conditions as tested using a ball and ring apparatus (Prowell, Zhang & Brown 2005)Austroads 2003bSpecific Gravity testThis is the ratio of mass for a specified asphalt volume whose content is known to the mass of an equivalent water volume at 27 Degrees Celsius temperature measured using a pycnometer (Fwa 2006)Austroads 2003bViscosity testThis will test the asphalt fluid properties to measure its resistance to flow and this has a significant effect on the strength of paving mixes (Lavin 2013)Austroads 2003bFire and FlashPoint testThis tests the flammability of volatiles within asphalt; the volatiles can catch fire and so this test will show resistance of the asphalt volatiles to catch fire (Gambhir & Jamwal 2014)Austroads 2003bFloat testThis is used for testing the range of consistencies of asphalt and are complementary to the viscosity and penetration tests (Gambhir & Jamwal 2014)Austroads 2003bWater content testThis is a test for the quantity of water contained in asphalt as the least amount of Austroads 2003b
