This Tutorial was designed to help you prepare for the Pile Driving Inspector's Qualification test. It was developed by the Florida Department of Transportation and adapted for use on the TCCC web site. The FHWA wishes to thank the FDOT for allowing it to be part of the TCCC on line courses.
Please note: because this was developed by FDOT, it was developed to accommodate the FDOT 455 specifications and that all the material is not generic (does not follow AASHTO specs)
This tutorial has been developed as a companion training aid for NHI Course #132069A, Driven Pile Foundation Inspection. It is recommended that this tutorial be completed prior to attendance at the NHI Inspector Qualification Course. Difficulties encountered during the completion of the tutorial and associated quizzes should be discussed and resolved with the participant's supervisor prior to attending the course to ensure successful completion of the Qualification course and associated examination.
Due to recently enacted Federal regulations (23CFR 637B) requiring that all testing and inspection be performed by qualified personnel, the Florida Department of Transportation developed a formal qualification process for Inspectors. With a goal and mission of constructing and maintaining a safe, efficient roadway transportation system, the Department has a need for qualified Pile Driving Inspectors.
Personnel serving as Pile Inspectors on Department projects are required to attend and pass the "Pile Driving Inspector's Qualification Course". This tutorial was developed to prepare Inspectors for attending and passing the qualification course.
Inside you will find information on various topics that are necessary for a Pile Inspector to know. From the pile driving system to the inspector's role and responsibilities, there is a wealth of information presented in this tutorial that will provide you the knowledge and tools to complete the qualification process.
