Quality

The acceptance criteria for C30 grade concrete as per European standards are as follows:   Compressive strength: The characteristic compressive strength of C30 grade concrete at 28 days is 30 N/mm². The minimum compressive strength requirement is 20 N/mm² at 7 days and 25 N/mm² at 28 days. The individual test results should not be less than the minimum strength requirement by more than 4 N/mm².   Workability: The concrete mix should have a workability of 50-90 mm slump as per EN 12350-2.   Density: The density of C30 grade concrete is typically between 2200 kg/m³ to 2500 kg/m³.   Water absorption: The maximum water absorption capacity of C30 grade concrete is 6% as per EN 12504-1.   Durability: The concrete mix should be designed to ensure that the concrete has a minimum durability of 50 years, which includes resistance to environmental and chemical exposure.   Other requirements: The concrete mix should also meet other specific requirements as per the project s

The pH value for construction water and drinking water can vary depending on several factors such as the source of the water, the treatment process, and the intended use.   Construction water is typically used for non-potable purposes such as mixing concrete or dust suppression, and it is not subject to the same strict regulations as drinking water. The pH value of construction water can range between 6.0 to 8.5, depending on the water source and treatment process.   Drinking water, on the other hand, is regulated and must meet strict quality standards to ensure it is safe for human consumption. The pH value of drinking water is typically in the range of 6.5 to 8.5, with the optimal pH value for drinking water being between 6.5 and 8.0.   A pH value below 6.5 indicates that the water is acidic, which can cause corrosion in pipes and fixtures and affect the taste of the water. A pH value above 8.5 indicates that the water is alkaline, which can also affect the taste of the w

  "First Time Right" (FTR) is a term used in project management and quality assurance to describe the goal of completing a task or project correctly on the first attempt, without the need for rework or corrective action. The idea behind FTR is that it saves time, resources, and money by reducing the need for rework, revisions, and corrections. It is especially important in industries such as manufacturing and software development, where mistakes can be costly and time-consuming to correct.   In practice, achieving FTR requires careful planning, attention to detail, and a focus on quality throughout the project lifecycle. It often involves establishing clear quality standards, using standardized processes, and conducting rigorous testing and verification to catch errors before they become problems.

  we build on the different viewpoints of quality by introducing you to the eight dimensions of quality – a theory devised by David Garvin (1987). Garvin’s theory provides a framework for categorizing quality characteristics within strategic analysis. These eight dimensions are: Performance Features Reliability Conformance Durability Serviceability Aesthetics Perceived

The standard of something as measured against other things of a similar kind; the degree of excellence of something. A distinctive attribute or characteristic  possessed  by someone or something. Quality is the degree to which a product, service, or process meets or exceeds the expectations and requirements of the customer or user. Quality is a subjective concept that can be influenced by various factors, including the customer's needs and expectations, the product's intended use, and the specific quality standards or criteria that are relevant to the product or service.   In general, quality can be defined as the extent to which a product or service satisfies the customer's requirements, including its functional performance, reliability, durability, safety, and other attributes that contribute to its overall value and utility. Quality can also refer to the processes and systems that are used to design, produce, and deliver products or services, including the use of qu
