UNDERSTANDING OF NEED provide inspection to verify the proper size and RMA Group staff will be able to very quickly reproduce placement of reinforcing steel and embedded anchors. any relevant reports or laboratory test results using LIMS reducing delays that otherwise might result We will also verify steel mill test reports, sample material (if required), and inspect the fabrication. Written progress reports will be provided. Reinforced concrete inspections will be performed continuously during the placement of concrete to verify that the class of concrete ordered is being delivered and conforms to the specifications, drawing and/or code requirements. Slump tests, entrained air, temperature, unit weight (when required) and concrete sampling will be performed during all concrete placements. The samples will be delivered to our local laboratory, cured in a controlled environment and tested for compression strength. Structural steel and welding inspections are performed to assure that proper quality control is exercised at the shop and field. The certified welding inspector will perform inspections before, during, and after welding. We will provide an inspector that has been certified by County of Las Angeles for welding. The observation would consist of inspection of all welds made in the shop and / or field for compliance of the approved plans and job specifications. The inspector shall make a systematic record of all welds, including a list of defective welds and a manner of correction of defects. The inspector will check the material, equipment, details of construction and procedures, as well as the welds. Our inspectorwill perform inspection during fit up and fabrication of structural steel to verify the materials utilized are properly marked and traceable. The inspector will collect mill certifications for the materials and inspect joint details to verify conformance at each connection. Non Destructive testing of the completed welds will be performed as required. The inspector may use Ultrasonic(UT), Magnetic Particle(MT) or Dye Penetrant(PT) as appropriate to inspect completed welds and assure the adequacy of the welding PROJECT CLOSE-OUT Upon project completion, the City may need closeout documents or testing professional staff will be able to recall all daily inspection reports and all laboratory test results using our LIMS software. This allows for easy access to information and inspection summaries. Our testing and inspection summaries for the entire project can be put together efficiently. If there are any outstanding issues as the project comes to a close, from having to track down physical files. QUALITY ASSURANCE AND QUALITY CONTROL Quality is an intrinsic part of RMA Group's operations. It is the first topic on every management agenda, and it permeates the daily activities of every employee. Our internal Quality Control program reflects our specific commitment to go beyond mere compliance with basic requirements. The program is a major piece of RMA Group's mission: to provide quality laboratory testing services meeting a broad range of our clients' needs. The objective of RMA Group's Quality Control Program is to ensure that the test data we provide meet our clients' quality objectives. In most cases, the aspects of quality that concern our clients most are the accuracy, precision, and completeness of our test results. We maintain control of our test results through the use of technical oversight by registered civil engineers, internal audits of project documentation, our continual participation in reference sample programs and through training and proficiency evaluations for all of our technical staff. All of the field and laboratory tests performed for projects will be performed under the responsible charge of a registered civil engineer who will provide technical oversight of RMA Group's field and laboratory activities. Technical oversight includes reviewing test data and reports for precision, accuracy and completion and monitoring the procedures and equipment utilized to perform testing to verify conformance with relevant specifications. Laboratory staff is directed to immediately report unusual observations or findings to the engineer in responsible charge of the laboratory. This allows the engineer to evaluate the test procedure and results and make a determination regarding the validity of any unusual findings.
