xi)
The quality of bricks used in the construction of staff
quarters and rest house at Jarikas did not seem
satisfactory. The project authority failed to produce
test reports to verify the quality of bricks. Hence it is
recommended that compressive strength test and
absorption test be carried out to check the quality of
bricks.
Department should fix the responsibility for the poor
workmanship observed at site i.e. non uniform/less
concrete cover, poor concrete finishing observed,
improper spacing between the reinforcement bars,
poor vertical alignment in storage water tank etc.
Strength of columns in the ramp of intermediate
pumping station at Khaliqabad was checked by
concrete test hammer. Concrete strength was found
less than the mentioned in specifications. Therefore
these columns should be dismantled and
reconstructed again at the expense of contractor &
responsibility be fixed by for poor quality work.
The construction of septic tank near Kharik road be
dismantled and reconstructed as per specification
and responsibility for execution of defective work
must be fixed.
i)
PMU should carryout radiography & holiday
detection tests as per approved specification and
agreement to ensure the quality of material and
workmanship of work.
The progress of the construction of sewerage
treatment plants/septic tanks in Mirpur City/Chiterpri
is show. The PMU is advised to gear up the progress
to operationalize the sewerage system at the earliest.
The quality and size of earthen ware installed in
different category quarters was not adequate. PMU is
advised do replace the sub standard sanitary fitting.

The compressive strength test and
absorption test be carried out by PMU to
check the quality of bricks (Action by

vii)
Action by Project Management.
The quality of plinth protection for tube wells and
quarters was very poor which needs complete
replacement.
At different sites the water supply system has been
complete/functional which should have been taken
over by the concerned department so that people at
large can benefit from it.
Electrical switch boards, powers plugs and switches
were of low quality which needs to be replaced.

i. Construction of Storm water Drain
At end point of storm water drain concrete strength was checked with concrete test hemmer.
Concrete strength was found as per specifications
Existing drain constructed is functional newly constructed drain seems non functional
Page 25 of 33
At many points thickness of top
slab is less than the unapproved
design provided by PMU
Level of road surface is lower than the inlets of
newly constructed drain resulting in flow storm
water on the road. Thus the constructed storm
water drain becomes useless
