Qaremy ConstructionQuality Management System

NSW Solar Farm Project - Comprehensive QMS for Large-Scale Infrastructure

About This QMS

This Quality Management System has been developed by Qaremy Construction Company for a large-scale solar farm project in New South Wales, Australia. It serves as a comprehensive learning resource for understanding quality assurance and quality control processes in large-scale renewable energy infrastructure projects.

Project Scope

  • Contractor: Qaremy Construction Company
  • Capacity: 400MW solar photovoltaic facility
  • Location: Central West NSW, Australia
  • Components:
    • 1,000,000+ PV modules
    • Single-axis tracking systems
    • Inverters and transformers
    • 33kV and 132kV electrical infrastructure
    • Site civil works and access roads

Key Learning Areas

  • QA vs QC: Understanding process-focused prevention versus product-focused detection
  • Inspection Hierarchy: Self-inspection → Contractor QC → Client QA → Third-Party
  • Hold Points: Critical inspection points where work must stop until approval
  • Traceability: Following materials and installations from delivery to energization
  • NCR Management: Root cause analysis and corrective action processes
  • Australian Standards: AS/NZS 5033, AS 3000, AS 2067, and related standards
