Abstract

Sets out basic principles for dealing with nonconformities. These provide a rational framework against which nonconformities can be verified/investigated, their significance can be assessed, appropriate remedies can be considered and recurrence can be avoided. Six key areas in which nonconformities frequently occur have been targeted in this report. These are: cover, inherent concrete quality, cracking, surface finishes, honeycombing and surface damage, and dimensional nonconformity. The report incorporates inter alia: flow charts setting out the decision-making process for dealing with the six types of nonconformity; lists of prompts for consideration when carrying out investigations or when selecting appropriate remedies; and typical examples of nonconformities. General advice on specifying to reduce nonconformities and avoid disputes is also provided.
