SUMMARY:ODOT - Quality Control Technician (QCT) May 14 - 15\, 2025
DESCRIPTION:A Quality Control Technician (QCT) performs testing of fresh Portland cement concrete including sampling\, concrete temperature\, slump\, unit weight\, air content\, and fabrication of specimens for strength testing and performs other duties including calculating cement content and water-cement ratio as required by specifications. This is a special segment designed by the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) as a supplemental to the ACI Concrete Field-Testing Technician Grade I for certification to work on state projects. \nA half day review\, with the exam given the next morning\, is sponsored by OCAPA in cooperation with ODOT. Individuals will need to be familiar with water-cement ratio worksheets and be able to navigate the following ODOT manuals: \n\nManual of Field-Testing Procedures\nOregon Standard Specifications for Construction – 2024 (Green Book)\n\nManuals must be purchased through outside vendors: \n\n2024 Oregon Standard Specifications – https://5207–62.myuplinxstore.com/franchise/index.htm (direct link) or on the specifications webpage: http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/SPECS/pages/index.aspx.\nManual of Field-Testing Procedures – http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/CONSTRUCTION/pages/mftp_manual.aspx\n\nA current copy of ASTM C-94 Specifications is needed for the exam. The exam is a 2-hour\, open book exam with a passing grade of 80%. Those successfully completing the ODOT examination and the ACI written and performance exams will be certified for work on ODOT projects. This certification expires the same date as ACI Concrete Field-Testing Technician Grade I. \nWritten ODOT recertification exams can be scheduled by appointment by calling the OCAPA office at 503-588-2430. \nThis class does NOT include the ACI Concrete Field-Testing Technician – Grade I certification\, which is required. Please remember to register for the ACI class.

DESCRIPTION:This course is for all personnel involved in testing fresh concrete. ASTM C94 and ACI 301 require technicians to have demonstrated an ability equivalent to ACI Concrete Field-Testing Technician-Grade I certification. \nA half day review\, with exams administered the following day\, is sponsored by OCAPA in cooperation with the American Concrete Institute (ACI). It is conducted by a certified examiner and graded by ACI. \nThose successfully completing both the ACI written and performance examinations will receive a wallet card from ACI certifying them as an ACI Concrete Field-Testing Technician – Grade I. Certification is valid for 5 years. \nRequired Prior Knowledge: \n\nFamiliarity with basic algebra.\nA working knowledge of the following ASTM Standards:\n\nC 172 – Sampling Freshly Mixed Concrete\nC 1064 -Temperature of Freshly Mixed Portland Cement Concrete\nC 143 – Slump of Hydraulic Cement Concrete\nC 138 -Unit Weight\, Yield\, and Air Content of Concrete\nC 231 – Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Pressure Method\nC 173 – Air Content of Freshly Mixed Concrete by the Volumetric Method\nC 31 – Making and Curing Concrete Test Specimens in the Field\n\n\nYou must be familiar with your testing equipment and be able to proceed through testing procedures without coaching or comment from the examiner or others.\nStudents must provide their own equipment or arrange to share equipment.\n\nNo more than two students per equipment set. \nNotice to Students Re-Certifying or Challenging: \n\nYou must provide your previous ACI # on the registration form.\nIf you are re-certifying\, ACI requires successful completion of both the performance and written examinations.\nIndividuals that are re-certifying are not required to attend the review.\nACI exams (written or performance) are not administered outside of scheduled class dates.
