INTRODUCTION

It is important to ensure that quality, scheduling and cost requirements are met in each of the different stages of an industrial project (iniciation, design, development, implementation and sign off). At Applus+, we combined quality assurance and quality control to provide a complete quality management solution for construction contractors and civil engineers. This ensures that their internal operations and procedures meet the requirements of internationally recognised Quality Management Systems.

This is achieved by supporting our clients to develop, launch and regularly revise a Project Quality Manual that outlines the quality procedures required during each phase of the project; and by supervising the contractors’ and subcontractors’ adherence to this quality plan to ensure they meet the requirements.
