Construction inspections

Quality Assurance / Quality Control
As part of our construction inspection services for our Clients, we provide QA/QC program safeguards to ensure proper procedures are used on every project. We observe and document construction activities to confirm accordance with the project plans and specifications.

If requested, ANS Consultants will also collect and evaluate data to verify that materials and techniques employed meet the standards required for the project, that proper methods are used for testing and analysis, and that we present our findings clearly, accurately and consistently.

Any materials collected for laboratory analyses will be tested by the accredited geotechnical laboratory operated by ANS Consultants, Inc. Special methods developed or modified to meet unique field conditions are properly documented in specific field procedures for reference and retrieval.

Safety
ANS Consultants record reflects a combination of a safety-oriented culture and practice including daily safety “toolbox” meetings, site hazard analyses, and appropriate training.  We continually adapt our practices to ensure projects are constructed in a safe and efficient manner, adhering to agency guidelines, federal and local policies, procedures, and requirements.
