02.READIN Quality control and safety represent increasingly
important concerns for project managers. Defects or

failures in constructed facilities can result in very
large costs. Even with minor defects,
reconstruction may be required and facility operations
impaired. Increased costs and delays are the result.

construction process can similarly result in personal
injuries and large costs. Indirect costs of insurance,
inspection and regulation are increasing rapidly due
to these increased direct costs. Good project

component configurations, material specifications and functional
performance are decided. Quality control during construction consists
largely of insuring conformance to these original designs and planning


While conformance to existing design decisions is
the primary focus of quality control, there are
exceptions to this rule. First, unforeseen
circumstances, incorrect design decisions or
changes desired by an owner in the facility
function may require re-evaluation of design
decisions during the course of construction.
While these changes may be motivated by the
concern for quality, they represent occasions
for
re-design with all the attendant

objectives and constraints. As a second case,
some designs rely upon informed and
appropriate decision making during the
construction process itself. For example,

some tunneling methods make decisions
about the amount of shoring required at
different
locations
based
upon
observation of soil conditions during the

construction project is also influenced in large part by decisions

made during the planning and design process. Some designs or
construction plans are inherently difficult and dangerous to
implement, whereas other, comparable plans may considerably
reduce the possibility of accidents. For example, clear separation
of traffic from construction zones during roadway rehabilitation
can greatly reduce the possibility of accidental collisions. Beyond
these design decisions, safety largely depends upon education,
vigilance and cooperation during the construction process.
Workers should be constantly alert to the possibilities of
accidents and avoid taken unnecessary risks.
