Quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) are critical components of civil infrastructure construction, ensuring that field execution aligns with engineering design intent.
Common QA/QC issues include material inconsistencies, compaction variability, and misalignment between design drawings and as-built conditions.
Effective QA/QC processes integrate field testing, engineering oversight, and accurate documentation throughout construction phases.
In infrastructure projects across Canada, strong QA/QC practices significantly reduce long-term maintenance issues and construction risk.
