QUALITY CONTROL MANAGEMENT OF ROAD INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND HIGHWAYS – LEYTE SECOND DISTRICT ENGINEERING OFFICE

Abstract

Quality control in construction is a vital element that should be given importance and in-depth assessment. This study looked into the quality control management of the road infrastructure projects of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) – Leyte Second District Engineering (2nd LED) Office for Calendar Years 2011-2015. Utilizing qualitative-descriptive research design, the study involved 30 Implementers, 30 Contractors, and 50 Beneficiaries of the road projects. Results of the study show that all road infrastructure projects were properly implemented, the quality control management were effective, material requirements were well complied, testing requirements were impressively complied, and the construction requirements had been strictly followed and remarkably complied. On project management, the primary problems or issues met by Project Implementers were on the need of the Resident Engineer to be present "at all times", Contractors being required to hire Materials Engineers "on site", and the Contractors being responsible for the quality control of all materials.Proper supervision, standard materials, experienced workmen, and proper coordination between technical men, among others, were the primary problems during project implementation.The primary problem on project evaluation fell on strictly administering quality management, keeping materials quality control documents, and work progress/accomplishments.Project Implementers must successfully manage and control the work to the highest level by identifying, tracking, managing, and resolving project issues; and they need to adhere to an open communication policy. Stakeholders need to be involved in the identification, implementation and evaluation of projects.DPWH-2nd LED Office needs to require technical and non-technical personnel to adopt “quality circles” where they will meet regularly to make suggestions for continuous quality control improvement; and hire additional technical personnel, rotate project assignments of the technical personnel, and minimize or remove sub-contractors with minor contracts who cannot come up with quality infrastructure road projects.

Keywords
