Rectification of engineering issues
Thread Content
In engineering management, it is inevitable that various problems arise in terms of design, construction, and management. When issues such as quality problems, schedule delays, or design changes occur during the construction process, how should we deal with them? And how can effective management be implemented to resolve construction issues as quickly as possible and meet the owner’s requirements? Everyone might as well discuss this, communicate and help one another, so as to improve together.
It’s too broad; for the larger ones, we need to consider whether there are issues related to design principles. It’s troublesome when there are major principle issues; it’s easier to handle when there aren’t any major principle issues.
This is a issue related to progress and quality management
Local changes during the construction process are quite normal. As the construction party, it is essential to follow the drawings as specified. The client has a project department or team, along with engineers available. In case of any issues, either the client notifies the construction party, or the construction party contacts the client to discuss such local problems. For changes that are necessary, a visa must be issued; both parties should clearly state on the visa the details of the change, the reasons for it, the revised drawings, and the additional workload resulting from the change. Both parties sign the visa to confirm this, and it is used during the final settlement at the end of the project. Any changes that affect the schedule must be documented in writing; it is advisable for both parties to sign it, and such documentation should be kept on file. The quality depends on one’s own construction skills and management capabilities. It should be the owner’s project department or project team that decides whether any changes are needed in terms of design.
