Revolutionizing Intercity Travel with a Focus on Quality
The California High-Speed Rail (HSR) will revolutionize intercity travel by providing a faster, eco-friendly alternative to traditional transportation methods — eliminating an average of 3,500 tons of emissions annually across its 800-mile corridor.
Since January 2023, Ñ°»¨ÂÛ̳ has been an integral part of an AECOM-led joint venture focused on implementing a Construction Quality Program. This program collects objective evidence to ensure and certify that all construction activities meet rigorous, federal-grade standards.
Key Contributions:
- Quality Management Plan Development: Ñ°»¨ÂÛ̳ developed a Quality Management Plan aligned with ISO guidelines, incorporating key performance indicators to measure and evaluate the plan’s effectiveness.
- Quality Records Review: Our team thoroughly reviews construction quality records to certify compliance with contract requirements, ensuring all activities meet federal-grade standards.
- National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) Inspection: Per FHWA standards, Ñ°»¨ÂÛ̳ conducts on-site assessments and reviews quality inspection plans, RFC plans, and aerial photos. These detailed inspections help identify and address potential issues early on.
- Training Program: Ñ°»¨ÂÛ̳ developed a training program for project staff focused on inspection and reporting processes. This initiative promoted a proactive approach to quality management, enhancing collaboration between the Authority and contractors while clarifying inspector roles and improving submission processes.
By collaborating closely with the California HSR Authority, Ñ°»¨ÂÛ̳ proactively identifies and resolves deficiencies, maintaining the highest quality standards throughout each project phase.
