Chapter 8
Quality Management
Publication: Manhole Inspection and Rehabilitation
Abstract
Quality assurance and quality control are valuable practices implemented to help ensure that what solutions need to be done in rehabilitation projects are done. The procedures of quality management program included during execution start with manhole assessment, with the role of the inspecting contractor being to gather the necessary data for the designer to evaluate and select methods for rehabilitation. Field investigators should be educated to recognize and document defects and conditions common to manholes. An essential component of manhole rehabilitation specifications is the clear identification of performance expectations of the material and process referencing industry standards for test methods, installation practices, and materials. The purpose of inspection includes verification that the materials and construction processes being used are in compliance with project specifications.
