Abstract:The construction of all transportation facilities involves skilled labor, appropriate equipment, and proper materials and workmanship. After the labor and equipment have completed their work, the materials remain in place constituting embankments, pavements, runways, bridges, and related facilities. Construction Quality Assurance (QA) is intended to address three principal user needs: 1) Long-Lasting Facilities 2) Effective Use of Public Funds 3) Safe Facilities Long lasting transportation facilities can only be achieved if the materials in place meet their specified level of quality. Clearly defined construction Quality Assurance procedures provide the mechanism for contractors and agencies to attain the quality facilities expected by our customers. In 2004, the TCCC members identified the need for a construction Quality Assurance course for training and certification purposes. After peer-reviewing the regionally-specific NETTCP QA course material, the FHWA and TCCC agreed to convert the material into a standard QA training course to be delivered through the National Highway Institute (NHI). This effort resulted in the final development of the NHI Transportation Construction Quality Assurance course.
