We are committed to achieving high quality
standards in all our projects. To this end, our
Group Companies have each set up a quality
assurance/quality control department. Since
2000, PEC has implemented OHSEQ and all projects
carried out by PEC are required to comply with
this management system. At the same time, our
other Group Companies are in the process of
putting in place procedures to comply with
OHSEQ, to the extent possible. A brief
description of the quality assurance aspect of
OHSEQ is set out below.
At the commencement of each project, the OHSEQ
goals and objectives will be agreed upon between
the customer and PEC.A project execution plan
which includes a quality assurance plan or an
inspection and test plan will be prepared by the
project execution team for each project. The
quality assurance plan is prepared with
reference to OHSEQ. The quality assurance plan
details the site organization structure, the
duties and responsibilities of each officer, the
control measures (undertaken to ensure the goals
and objectives of the project are met), the
general execution procedures (descriptions on
steps undertaken to carry out common tasks) and
method statements (descriptions on steps taken
to carry out an important task) to be adopted by
the project team. After the quality plan is
accepted and approved, PEC will execute the
project in accordance to the plan to achieve the
expected quality standards.
Under the OHSEQ, we maintain a list of approved
suppliers and sub-contractors from which we
procure materials and services for our projects.
We constantly evaluate their performance through
feedback from our project personnel and quality
control team. Suppliers and sub-contractors who
fail to meet our performance criteria may not be
considered for future PEC projects.
Under the OHSEQ, we have to carry out mandatory
audits to ensure compliance. Our quality audit
team, comprising an Executive Officer and/or
senior project manager, a project supervisor and
a quality executive, conducts regular audits in
accordance with the OHSEQ audit schedule and any
defaults uncovered will be rectified in
accordance to the quality plan prescribed by the
OHSEQ. The quality audit team will conduct
inspections during the course of the project to
ensure that work is carried out according to our
quality procedures, unnecessary wastage of
materials is minimized, site housekeeping is in
order and safety, health and all relevant
environment issues are taken care of. Regular
briefings are held on-site to promote safety,
health, environment and quality. Regular
checks/audits are also carried out to ensure
proper site set-up and work processes.
By means of regular project meetings, we gather
feedback from our customers about their quality
expectation, our quality performance and any
changes in their quality requirements. Our
Executive Directors and Executive Officers
periodically meet up with our customers to
obtain feedback on our services. We also hold
regular meetings with our project managers to
discuss and review our quality performance and
improvements that needs to be put in place to
enhance our standards.
