Association of State Dam Safety Officials, 2014



Quality control on projects for the construction or rehabilitation of dams is the responsibility of the construction contractor. Contractors have control of the site during construction and are responsible for understanding and complying with the requirements of the contract documents. It would be remiss on the part of the owner however, to solely rely on the contractor for this task. To verify contract compliance, construction of complex and potentially hazardous projects demands a high level of independent observation, oversight, and quality assurance measures by the owner or his designated engineer. Quality assurance measures are also often monitored by state and federal regulators.

This webinar presents an introduction to the construction inspection/quality assurance process employed for new dam and dam rehabilitation projects to ensure that they are constructed as designed and to verify that the contractor complies with the terms and conditions of the contract. It will look at important items to inspect during construction and discuss the roles and responsibilities of the inspector. The construction inspection/quality assurance process presented will be of interest to dam owners, design engineers, state and federal regulators, and contractors.
