Efficient Construction Material Testing and Inspection Based on Risk Levels
South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) previously completed research project SD91-05 Essential Testing and Inspections Levels which was conducted over 30 years ago. It would be beneficial to review SDDOT’s current construction material testing and inspection program using a “Risk-Based Analysis”. This type of analysis would focus on the value of each material test and type of inspection, thus helping SDDOT to direct resources to where they would provide the most value and reduce the risk to end quality and performance. Risks include but are not limited to time, cost, safety, quality, and scheduling. Advancements in technology and software since SD91-05 have improved processes and productivity in the highway construction industry. Current and emerging technologies should be considered in this research to improve the efficiency of SDDOT construction material testing and inspection.
