How is this data <br /> used? <br /> ~ Yes. 1 inspect the construction of projects to monitor compliance with the <br /> APWA/ODOT combined specifications and project special specifications as well <br /> as the performance of products, materials and methods of <br /> construction/installation/application specified as conforming to AASHTO <br /> (American Association of Sfate Highways and Transportation Officials) and <br /> ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials). <br /> Any data derived from the procedures or materials and their success or failure is <br /> collected and considered for revision by Public Works Engineering. This <br /> information is also shared with other local, state and federal agencies if it is <br /> determined to affect related concerns and procedures: <br /> b) As part of your field inspection process, do you perform any quality <br /> testing of materials and construction? If yes, briefly describe a typical <br /> process. <br /> Placement and construction of roadway, and bike path bases for deflection, <br /> testing of installed sewer mains and services by subjection to pressure, testing of <br /> installed manholes by subjection to vacuum, and testing of internally sealed <br /> service connections by subjection to pressure are only a few examples of an <br /> Engineering Technician's involvement in quality testing. <br /> As an example, when asub-grade for a roadway is prepared by the contractor, a <br /> deflection testis performed by having a heavily loaded water (ruck pass slowly <br /> over the entire prepared sun`ace. The Engineering Technician follows the vehicle <br /> and tries to determine if the prepared sub-grade is deflected beyond prescribed <br /> limits ouflined in the standard specifications.. <br /> Estimated time spent: Often through out a project <br /> Engineering Technician Position Review 8 January 2004 <br /> <br />
