Engineering Guidelines for the Evaluation of Hydropower Projects: Chapter 7- Construction Quality Control Inspection Program
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 1993
The guidelines presented in this chapter provide staff engineers and geologists with recommended procedures and criteria to be used in reviewing and evaluating construction quality control inspection programs for FERC jurisdictional projects. These guidelines are based on the FERC Regulations, FERC Operating Manual for Inspection of Projects and Supervision of Licenses for Water Power Projects, and selected Quality Control Inspection Programs (QCIPs) from each FERC Regional Office. The term "licensee" in the remainder of this chapter refers to licensee, exemptee or applicant as appropriate. The review performed by staff will be conducted to ensure that submitted QCIPs comply with the Commission's Regulations and provide accepted construction quality control inspection and documentation practices common to the hydroelectric industry. Quality control has been defined as measuring conformance with the requirements. In addition it is deciding what will be measured and who will do the measuring and documentation.
