Thread Content

A state-owned construction company with top-tier construction qualifications was tasked with building the information center for a university in the northwest. The building has 5 floors above ground and 1 floor below ground, with a total construction area of 10,023 square meters; its structural type is frame structure. As required by the client, the facility had to be ready for use by the start of the academic term, which meant that the deadline for completion was very tight. Additionally, the client specified that concrete should be mixed on-site, with the construction company responsible for purchasing the materials itself.   During the construction process, the contractor used suppliers in China who met the required qualification standards; as a result, the commonly used steel and cement were allowed to be used after only checking their certification of conformity upon arrival, and no quality issues were detected after they were put into use.   Question: (1) Are there any issues with the construction company’s quality control of steel and cement? Please explain briefly.   (2) What are the aspects involved in quality control of building materials? (3) What are the basic requirements for quality management of materials entering the construction site? Answer: (1) There are problems. It violates the following: ① For each batch of steel that enters the construction site, sampling for testing must be carried out in the presence of a representative of the project owner or the supervision engineer, with each batch being limited to 60 tons; the sampled materials are then sealed and sent for further testing to determine whether their physical and mechanical properties meet the standard requirements (chemical property analysis may also be necessary in some cases) ; ②For each batch of cement that enters the construction site, sampling for testing should be carried out in the presence of a representative of the project owner or the supervision engineer, with each batch of bagged cement not exceeding 200 tons and each batch of bulk cement not exceeding 500 tons. The samples then need to be sealed and sent for further testing, aimed at verifying whether the cement’s stability, strength, setting time, etc., meet the requirements specified in the standards.   (2) Main aspects of building material quality control: material quality standards, material properties, methods for sampling and testing materials, applicable ranges of materials, and construction requirements, etc.   (3) Basic requirements for quality management of building structural materials
1) Upon arrival of materials, a material certification must be provided, and on-site quality verification and documentation should be carried out in accordance with the supply plan and relevant standards. Quality verification includes checking the material type, model, specifications, quantity, and appearance, as well as conducting witnessed sampling and physical and chemical property tests. The verification results shall be submitted to the supervision engineer for approval.   2) Materials that fail the on-site verification shall not be used or shall be used at a reduced grade in accordance with relevant standard regulations.   3) For the materials purchased for the project, the owner’s verification cannot replace the project’s responsibility for the quality of those materials; similarly, for the materials purchased by the owner, the project’s verification cannot replace the owner’s own responsibility for the quality of those materials.   4) When the verification documents for incoming materials are incomplete or there are doubts about their quality, such materials should be stored separately; they can be used only after all the necessary documents are available and re-inspection confirms their quality.   5) It is strictly prohibited to pass off inferior products as good ones or to cut corners in work.   6) Material stacking at the site must be carried out strictly in accordance with the construction organization layout plan; random stacking is not allowed. Inspected and uninspected materials should be stored separately to prevent unintended use.
