Framework for Development of TxDOT Construction Inspector Training Program

To meet the need for a larger number of inspectors and to improve the experience and knowledge level on inspectors, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is reviewing construction inspector training needs and training programs that are available within TxDOT and from national organizations and other states. This project developed and delivered construction inspection training to personnel involved in inspection on TxDOT projects. This report reviews and summarizes hundreds of training programs available nationally. Researchers provided a listing of observations, ecommendations, and a framework for a path forward immediately.
