Technical Control aims at providing an on−going monitoring system at the site during the construction process in order to reduce compliance, rework and dispute risks. Based on inputs provided by customers (quality plan, customer requirements, project description, designs and drawings, etc.), ASACERT prepares, a fully-tailored Control Plan for a specific project outlining type, amount and frequency of controls.
This is executed from the design to the completion according with the following schedule:

• a site preparation audit;
• control on work in each construction phase (from foundation to the end);
• compliance verification with designs and contractual requirements;
• compliance verification with codes and standards;
• materials suppliers' certification and monitoring;
• incoming materials quality control;
• building materials testing;
• non-destructive tests;
• inspection of structures and super- structures;
• electrical system inspections;
• technological installations functionality verification. Specific tests can b e executed in qualified testing laboratories to check the strength, durability and suitability of construction materials (aggregates, rocks, concrete, bricks, mortar, plaster, steel and polymers).

Customers receive systematic reports as follows:

• site Inspection Reports (SIR) delivered at the end of each Inspection Audit and addressed to Site Engineers;
• intermediate Inspection Report (IIR) delivered after three to four days and providing evidence (pictures, test reports, etc.);
• monthly Report (MR) delivered at the end of each month to the Chief Technical Officer, summarising non-conformities raised in the previous month (resolved, pending, etc.);
• management Information System (MIS) delivered along with the monthly report and addressed to the top management.

At the end of the project ODIE provides customers with:

• a Final Inspection Report regarding those activities duly audited;
• Inspection Certificate if the inspection results are positive.

ODIE's technical control at site allows customers to:

• improve trust and brand image towards stakeholders;
• reduce the risk of repetition of work through prompt identification of non-conformities and careful follow-up to ensure their resolution;
• reduce the risk of delays;
• prevent dispute costs due to claims and complaints by other parties (contractors, designers, etc.);
• quality-assurance improvement extended to all players involved in a construction project;
• reduce insurance costs.
