Discussion of the efforts of KS Engineers, P.C. (KSE) in providing Construction Quality Assurance (QA) and Construction Engineering and Inspection (CEI) services for the design-build Goethals Bridge Replacement Project for the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (PANYNJ). The project replaced the original Goethals Bridge, which was built in the 1920s and spanned the Arthur Kill River on I-278 connecting Elizabeth, New Jersey and Staten Island, New York, with dual eastbound and westbound bridges. The original bridge was subsequently demolished. It is anticipated that the two new bridges will carry approximately 14 million vehicles annually.
Objectives:
1. Understand the significance of a Quality Assurance Plan in complex projects.
2. Discuss the importance of collaboration in design-build projects.
3. Explain how the use of Standard Operating Procedures lead to project success.
4. Describe how the implementation of Controlled Inspection Checklists help to ensure accuracy with design and construction documentation.
