Original Scope: Although many quality control/quality assurance programs exist within the U.S., there was significant interest in exploring the most effective of these to identify successful QC/QA practices that can be readily incorporated by other agencies. A scan of QC/QA practices and procedures was conducted to identify methods, techniques, and approaches to improving and maintaining a high quality of designs being prepared by consulting engineering firms. The expanded use of these practices will assure that the highest possible quality is achieved in design of the nation’s highway and bridge projects.
Implementation and Impact
Federal Lands has adapted some of the verbiage from the QC documents reviewed in Oregon and Virginia.
