FIELD QUALITY CONTROL Sample Clauses
The FIELD QUALITY CONTROL clause establishes requirements and procedures for inspecting and verifying the quality of work performed on-site during a project. It typically mandates regular inspections, testing of materials, and documentation of results to ensure compliance with project specifications and standards. By setting clear expectations for quality assurance, this clause helps prevent defects, ensures consistent workmanship, and reduces the risk of costly rework or project delays.
FIELD QUALITY CONTROL. A. Inspection: Refer to Testing and Inspection Requirements.
FIELD QUALITY CONTROL. A. All workmanship shall be first class and carried out in a manner satisfactory to and approved by the Owner.
B. This Contractor shall personally, or through an authorized and competent representative, constantly supervise the work and, as much as possible, keep the same ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and workmen on the job throughout.
FIELD QUALITY CONTROL. A. Special Inspections: Owner will engage a special inspector to perform field tests and inspections and prepare test reports.
FIELD QUALITY CONTROL. Field Testing: 1. In addition to any testing herein, perform all testing for this product or system consistent with the requirements of Section 01660, the applicable codes, and the manufacturers' current quality assurance program.
FIELD QUALITY CONTROL. A. Neither observations by Engineer nor inspections, tests or approvals by other persons shall relieve the Contractor from his obligations to perform the work in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
B. If the Contract Documents, laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public authority having jurisdiction require any work to specifically be inspected, tested or approved by some public body, the Contractor shall assume full responsibility therefore, pay all costs in connection therewith, and furnish the Engineer with the required certificates of inspection, testing or approval.
C. The Owner reserves the right to independently perform laboratory tests on random samples of material or performance tests on equipment delivered to the site.
1. These tests, if made, will be conducted in accordance with the appropriate referenced standards or specification requirements.
2. The entire shipment represented by a given sample, samples or piece of equipment may be rejected on the basis of the failure of samples or pieces of equipment to meet specified test requirements.
3. All rejected materials or equipment shall be removed from the site, whether stored or installed in the work, and the required replacements shall be made, all at no additional cost to Owner.
FIELD QUALITY CONTROL. A. Special Inspections: Owner will engage a special inspector to perform field tests and inspections and prepare testing and inspection reports.
B. Testing Agency: owner will engage a qualified testing and inspecting agency to perform tests and inspections and to submit reports.
1. Testing agency to be responsible for providing curing container for composite samples on Site and verifying that field-cured composite samples are cured in accordance with ASTM C31/C31M.
2. Testing agency to immediately report to Architect, Contractor, and concrete manufacturer any failure of Work to comply with Contract Documents.
3. Testing agency to report results of tests and inspections, in writing, to Owner, Architect, Contractor, and concrete manufacturer within 48 hours of inspections and tests.
a. Test reports to include reporting requirements of ASTM C31/C31M, ASTM C39/C39M, and ACI 301, including the following as applicable to each test and inspection:
1) Project name.
2) Name of testing agency.
3) Names and certification numbers of field and laboratory technicians performing inspections and testing.
4) Name of concrete manufacturer.

10) Design compressive strength at 28 days.
11) Concrete mixture designation, proportions, and materials.
12) Field test results.
13) Information on storage and curing of samples before testing, including curing method and maximum and minimum temperatures during initial curing period.
14) Type of fracture and compressive break strengths at seven days and 28 days.
FIELD QUALITY CONTROL. A. Installers: Submit the following report to the Engineer and system manufacturer: Square footage and location of reinforcing fabric, volume of epoxy adhesive and batch numbers installed each day
B. Field Inspection: All aspects of preparation, mixing, and application of materials are subject to field inspection, including the following:
a. Material container labels b. Surface Preparation

FIELD QUALITY CONTROL. A. Tests and Inspections:
1. After installing grounding system but before permanent electrical circuits have been energized, test for compliance with requirements.
2. Inspect physical and mechanical condition. Verify tightness of accessible, bolted, electrical connections with a calibrated torque wrench according to manufacturer's written instructions.
3. Test completed grounding system at each location where a maximum ground- resistance level is specified.
a. Measure ground resistance no fewer than two full days after last trace of precipitation and without soil being moistened by any means other than natural drainage or seepage and without chemical treatment or other artificial means of reducing natural ground resistance.
b. Perform tests by fall-of-potential method according to IEEE 81.
4. Prepare dimensioned Drawings locating each test well, ground rod and ground- rod assembly, and other grounding electrodes. Identify each by letter in alphabetical order, and key to the record of tests and observations. Include the number of rods driven and their depth at each location and include observations of weather and other phenomena that may affect test results. Describe measures taken to improve test results.
B. Grounding system will be considered defective if it does not pass tests and inspections.
C. Prepare test and inspection reports.
D. Report measured ground resistances that exceed the following values:
1. Power and Lighting Equipment or System with Capacity of 500 kVA to 1000kVA: 5 ohms.
E. Excessive Ground Resistance: If resistance to ground exceeds specified values, notify Architect promptly and include recommendations to reduce ground resistance.
FIELD QUALITY CONTROL. A. Testing Agency: Owner will engage a qualified testing agency to perform tests and inspections.
