Activities Planned by CBRI Ú Ú Ú Advice for good quality of construction system with earth quake resistant design. Advice and guidance for efficient construction at site so that the work may be executed as per the quality norms. A methodology for general quality inspection programme has been prepared and is being implemented on all school sites with the help of DPOs/VECs. This include v v v v Training of the VEC, AE/ JE, BRC and other allied personals Site visits and visual observations Non Destructive Testing (NDT) Checking of specifications. Sample collection of construction materials (Brick, Sand, Cement, Steel etc. ) by CBRI Team. Material testing at CBRI. An inspection report after each visit containing suggestions for quality improvement.

Questionnaire For Quality in Construction Excerpt from the Questionnaire A Questionnaire Pertaining to QC Practices was Circulated & Queries from the VECs, JEs and other participants were discussed and solutions were provided at the spot during Workshops Tutorial sessions were organised soon after the TRAINING/ WORKSHOP and following is the feed-back: ü 35 % Participants had no idea about the Class Designation of Bricks, Grade of Cement etc. before joining the Workshop. ü 25 % Participants didn’t know about the ratio of concrete, removal of shuttering, schedule of curing etc. ü Very few knew about the earth-quake resistant measures and their role for the structures. ü 5% participants complained that they don’t have complete set of booklet/drawings/ designs with them.

NDT Non-Destructive Testing of RC Components NDT Equipments NDT Carried out during the Site Visits using the following Equipments: REBOUND HAMMER (Concrete Test Hammer) Ultrasonic Instrument (PUNDIT) PROFORMET ER (Rebar Locator) CORE CUTTING TEST

Technical Faults in Construction

Glimpses of Recent Construction Work

Challenge in Quality Control Programme Other than the technical understanding of the VEC member and the desire to improve the quality of construction , the following additional difficulties have been noticed: v Some of the sites are situated in difficult terrains & transportation of materials/ equipments required extra efforts. (Sites are from 500 m to 6000 m from the road head. ) v Scarcity of water for construction / curing work v Non-availability of well trained mason near the school site
