Quality Audit/ Assessment & TPQM of Projects
Need for service: In modern construction industry, Quality assurance program is made as a proactive process initiated at the beginning of the project with a prime objective to prevent defects in deliverables and to avoid rework. Quality audit and monitoring are the different type of control systems adopted for the construction projects & its related construction activities are assured with compliance of established quality standards with respect to construction materials, process control & methods of execution.
Quality monitoring is also a system adopted at different stages of execution to determine the system & process control conformity with quality standard or procedure & to give feedback to contractor & client to improve the quality as work progresses.
Quality Audit and assessment will be made by AMITH team of professionals for completed works by conducting testing of bulk materials used for construction & by partial & non-destructive testing of concrete elements & other activities of work by available testing methods & provide appropriate solution to correct the system as required.
Structural auditing
Need for service: Reinforced concrete structures like Buildings, bridges & other infrastructure concrete elements serving for particular functionality exposed to series of natural disruptions & seasonal variations will deteriorate in the form of steel corrosion, cracking etc. The reason for these failures is at times identifiable and at many numbers of times the reasons are located/identified after intensive testing & analysis. A few are settlement, use of untreated reinforcement, ineffective supervision, improper design, localized errors etc. In order to restore the building structure to with stand & serve its functionalities for its life term, rehabilitation of the building is done by structural audit/assessment to prolong the life of structure.
Structural Audit will be made by AMITH team of professionals by Visual inspection, non-destructive& partial destructive testing of the concrete elements for beams, slab &columns to assess the existing strength & quality and provide suitable retrofitting measures for enhancing the functionality &life of structural elements.
The team of AMITH comprising three Directors & their team of Engineers, with more than three decades of Professional expertise & knowledge will provide one stop total solution (end to end from concept to solution) to enhance the life of the structure.
NDT & Partial destructive Testing
• Rebound hammer
• Ultrasonic pulse velocity test (UPV)
• Carbonation test on concrete
• Chloride test on concrete
• Concrete core test
• Half-cell potential test
• Chemical analysis of concrete & cement mortar
Testing of Building Materials
• Tests on Building Materials as per relevant IS code of practice.
• Tests on Burnt Clay & Fly ash brick, AAC Block, Hollow & Solid concrete blocks and Paver blocks.
• Constituent materials of Normal weight and High-performance concrete including analysis of water, and Superplasticizers.
• Split Tensile Strength of concrete (standard cylinder specimen).
• Tests on Concrete Cubes, Cylinders including extraction and testing of Core Samples.
• Standard Tests on Steel reinforcements including Structural, Welded and Spliced Joints.
• Evaluation of Galvanization, Anodic coating thickness and protective coating thickness.
• Standard tests on Prestressing High Tensile Steel Wires & Strands.
• Accelerated curing chamber facility for obtaining equivalent to 28 days compressive strength within one day for current track constructions.
• Determination of pH value, Chlorides & Sulphate in concrete samples.
Facilities
• The highly equipped computerized & digital laboratory has got all the facilities to conduct Physical & Chemical tests on all types of building materials, as per relevant Indian Standard Code of practice.
• Physical tests on Reinforcing steel: Tensile strength, Bend & Re-bend.
• Tensile strength & Bend tests on Structural steel sections.
• Tensile Tests on Coupler, Spliced & Welded Joints.
• Chemical analysis on all above steel specimens like Carbon, Sulphur, & Phosphorous.
Restoration & rehabilitation of Structures
Need for service: All infrastructure deteriorates over a period of time & thereby reduce its durability & service life for reasons related to loading (over loading & variance in functional performance) construction issues, foundation, material, weathering effect, natural calamities & accidents.
In order to improve the structural integrity & performance & upgrade the functionality and commensurate with latest code provisions & to improve the durability thereby extending its service life, retrofitting & rehabilitation is essential for the structure to overcome the above issues.
After evaluation of concrete elements by necessary Partial-destructive & Non-destructive testing, the present condition of the structure will be ascertained & appropriate retrofitting measures will be adopted by the expert team of AMITH to provide end solution to enhance the functionality, durability & service life of the structure.
Concrete Mix Design
• We are providing solution for concrete mix design for all grade to ensure strength & durability as per client’s requirements.
• Design mix on all grade of concrete is undertaken by both normal & Accelerated method.
Consultancy & Advisory Services
• Providing need based technical guidance after analyzing the ground level issues and providing appropriate solution by our team of technical experts.
Dissemination of technical knowledge
a) Providing technical training on process control of concrete & other construction activities and preparation of method statements for different construction activities, testing of materials, preparation of documentation for the materials & construction activities during execution of project.
b) Training on implementation of best construction practices for construction activities complying to latest Indian standards for execution of projects.
c) Providing training program on quality monitoring of construction of construction activities complying to standards & specification, making field observations on non-conformities & reporting. Preparation of quality assurance plan for infrastructure & building projects.
QA/QC & TPQM of civil projects
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industrys standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum
