- Abstract:
Due to the increasing strategic importance of the African continent, there has been an increase in demand for ports and port facilities along its coastline. Sea trade to and from ports all over the world tends to make the Horn of Africa a focal point for waterborne traffic of the world. The assurance of the highest possible quality per dollar spent on port construction is of utmost importance to the host country (owner). Use of the principles and insights, which were learned during performance of quality assurance function on port construction project in Somalia and are shared herein, will maximize the probability that the quality of work produced is that which was designed. Proven‐in‐action success techniques related to production are divulged which will help the contractor realize expeditious, economical field operations and solve construction problems before they occur by preparing himself in advance to deal with them.
