Construction and Materials

The Construction and Materials Training Program provides comprehensive, up-to-date training and evaluation materials consistent with department policies, procedure, specifications, and state-of-the-art technology for professional engineers and engineering technicians employed by the department and/or transportation industry contractors and materials producers.

The Construction and Materials Training Program keeps abreast of all changes in departmental priorities, policies, procedures, specifications, testing procedures, proposed changes in quality assurance operations, new technology to be implemented, and federal regulation which affect the program and develops, revises, or acquires training materials accordingly. LTRC has been involved in the nationwide effort to develop a standardized quality control/quality assurance training program for all state highway departments.

The Construction and Materials Training program manages the Inspector/Technician Certification program for DOTD and the Louisiana transportation industry by coordinating the testing, authorization, and certification of inspectors and technicians statewide in each area of DOTD construction activity.
