This is a quick reference table of key specifications for quality assurance (QA)/quality control (QC) in civil engineering, compiled by our company. This checklist facilitates rapid reference and summarizes the core specifications, standards, and key checkpoints relevant to civil engineering projects, providing efficient support for project quality management, on-site inspections, and project execution.
