Quality Control Service Area (QCSA)
Vision: To significantly improve engineering and project management workflows to deliver high quality projects
Quality Control Organizational Chart:
QCSA is aimed toward detecting and preventing specific design-related, bidding, tendering process, and process-specific causes for potential errors during development and construction through effective quality planning, “this is the essence of the QCSA”.
QCSA will strive for the cooperation and communication with Quality Partners (QPs) for specific quality data, derived corrective measures, ISC/CSA/ASTM/ACI/APEGA/ABC specific requirements and the change management for the purpose of traceability. QCSA two main areas of focus will be Regulatory and Service.
As per the Memo by Tribal Management – View here, QCSA’s purpose will be identified as the following:
Regulatory will be responsible for: (Mainstream)

- Quality Control / Assurance audits and reviews
- Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) compliance
- Compliance Verification
- Technical Review, Code Specifications, Construction Checks, Standard Preparation
- Project Management Adherence
