Construction Quality Control on Site Event, 03.Feb.2025

Introduction

Structural engineers are encountering many problems due to the hot climate and the other environmental conditions. Quality control in construction of the reinforced concrete structure is a complete function which involves management, statistics and engineering. In a hot climate, it needs more precaution in concrete industry and on the construction of the building to match with the requirement to this weather. All the examples and real case studies for oil and gas projects.

In this Construction Quality Control on Site training course will focus on using the statistics as a tool to control all the activities of the construction projects, especially the concrete product. The quality control of the concrete is illustrated in scope of the different codes and specifications.

This Civil & Construction Engineering training course will deliver a state-of-art methodology to control the concrete quality, introduces ways to control the specification recommendations in detail, and all the new modern the techniques and methodology used in concrete industry to enhance the concrete quality. This training course on Construction Quality Control on Site will cover the main QC concept for shell specs and other international oil and gas companies.
