Activities Planned by CBRI

• Advice for good quality of construction system
  with earth quake resistant design.
• Advice and guidance for efficient construction at
  site so that the work may be executed as per the
  quality norms.
• A methodology for general quality inspection
  programme has been prepared and is being
  implemented on all school sites with the help of
  DPOs/VECs.

This include

• Training of the VEC, AE/ JE, BRC and other allied
  personals
• Site visits and visual observations
• Non Destructive Testing (NDT)
• Checking of specifications.
• Sample collection of construction materials
  (Brick, Sand, Cement, Steel etc.) by CBRI Team.
• Material testing at CBRI.
• An inspection report after each visit containing
  suggestions for quality improvement.

Questionnaire For Quality in Construction
Excerpt from the Questionnaire
Tutorial sessions were organised soon after the
TRAINING/ WORKSHOP and following is the feed-back
A Questionnaire Pertaining to QC Practices was
Circulated Queries from the VECs, JEs and
other participants were discussed and solutions
were provided at the spot during Workshops

• 35 Participants had no idea about the Class
  Designation of Bricks, Grade of Cement etc.
  before joining the Workshop.
• 25 Participants didnt know about the ratio of
  concrete, removal of shuttering, schedule of
  curing etc.
• Very few knew about the earth-quake resistant
  measures and their role for the structures.
• 5 participants complained that they dont have
  complete set of booklet/drawings/ designs with
  them.
• 10 participants didnt know about the Gola,
  Khurra, Drip/ String courses, dado, apron etc.
  and their role.

MISSION To improve the Quality of Civil
Construction Work under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan by
means of Training, Regular Inspections Other
Quality Control Practices for Village Education
Committees (VECs) , Engineers and other concerned
officials.
ACHIEVING QUALITY IN CONSTRUCTION Quality today
has assumed high level of importance as the
durability of building envelope is directly
related to the quality of materials and
components used therein. An attempt is being made
by CBRI TEAM to develop implement a methodology
for Quality Improvement in the Civil Construction
Work, especially considering the needs of
Uttarakhand, a newly born state.

Challenge in Quality Control Programme
Other than the technical understanding of the VEC
member and the desire to improve the quality of
construction , the following additional
difficulties have been noticed

• Some of the sites are situated in difficult
  terrains transportation of materials/
  equipments required extra efforts. (Sites are
  from 500m to 6000 m from the road head.)
• Scarcity of water for construction / curing work
• Non-availability of well trained mason near the
  school site

John Ruskin enunciated that 'Quality is never
an accident it is always the result of
intelligent effort'
