Description

The Manual deals with the duties of construction monitoring staff involved with the structural works on road projects in South Africa. Such works typically include bridges, culverts, retaining walls, toll plaza structures and sign gantries, but may also include other miscellaneous structures required for erosion protection or other purposes. The Manual specifically excludes matters relating to the roadwork aspects of the works and concentrates on structures manufactured from concrete, the construction material most commonly used in southern Africa.

The aim of the Manual is to describe the duties and responsibilities of the monitoring staff, and to

provide information and guidance to assist them in effectively executing those duties. It alerts readers to items requiring forward planning and formal approval, and contains useful check lists and control forms suitable for use on site. Although comprehensive, the Manual cannot however provide detailed coverage of all aspects of construction monitoring, and is not intended to cover the wide range of specialised construction systems and techniques available today.
