In addition to roadway improvements, the existing bridge over Chickahominy River was widened to the inside. We provided comprehensive/independent quality assurance (QA) services in accordance with VDOT requirements that cover inspection/documentation of all aspects of the project construction, including oversight of the quality control (QC) processes, providing daily QA inspections of ongoing work, preparation of the project materials book, and certification of monthly invoices. For each major activity, our team also provided preparatory inspection meetings verifying that all QA, QC, and contractor personnel were both aware of contract requirements and were in possession of applicable plans and specifications.
We also provided non-conformance reports (NCRs) on all nonconforming work – distributed to all appropriate stakeholders: owner, contractor, subcontractors, and engineer-of-record. NCRs were logged and tracked until approved corrections were properly completed. Similarly, an issue log was kept to track minor items that required correction, but did not rise to the level of an NCR. One key feature on this project was traffic control. As a main thoroughfare between Richmond/Interstate 95 and Virginia Beach, it was imperative to keep traffic moving smoothly for the community and visitors.
