The Road Construction department will embark on a series of inspection from July to August to examine the quality of roads across Jharkhand.
The department organised a pre-inspection workshop for providing vitals inputs needed for examining the quality of roads.
The department released inspection schedule for all Districts of Jharkhand divided in five circles- Chaibasa, Daltonganj, Dumka, Ranchi and Hazaribagh. The inspection programme will start on July 3 from Chaibasa and will end on August 21.
As many as five teams of engineers have been formed to assess the quality of roads in Jharkhand. The department assigns construction work through Standard Bidding Process (SBP) thus the need for strict quality control becomes more important.
“We keep a tab on contractors through strict quality control methods. We monitor equipments, materials and everything to avoid any compromise with quality,” said Samrendra Prasad, Quality Control JE of Ranchi Division.
Hundreds of JEs and contractor were called by the department to educate them the nitty-gritty of quality and techniques for constructing better roads.
The workshop was inaugurated by former Engineer in Chief Road Construction, Vijay Kumar. Chief Engineer Road Construction Patwari Soren was chief guest of the workshop.
