Assessment of Construction Quality – Structural Concrete at the Uranium Processing Facility
The U.S. Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Safety and Environmental Assessments, within the independent Office of Enterprise Assessments (EA), conducted an assessment of construction quality and implementation of the quality assurance program at the Uranium Processing Facility construction site from November 13 to 16, 2017.
The scope of this EA assessment included observing ongoing work activities for construction of the mass concrete fill and reviewing construction documentation consisting of plans, procedures, drawing, and specifications to determine if the expectations of the project's quality assurance program are being implemented sufficiently to ensure that the production, delivery, placement, and testing of concrete meets established construction specifications.
