Guide can be found on www.wisconsindot.gov Under Doing Business/Engineers and Consultants/Structure and Road Resources Guide was recently revised and has a slightly different format. 2
Minimum Inspection based on preventing high risk consequences of failure. Expectation is that cost savings and efficiencies will be realized by using the appropriate level of inspectors as well as combining several tasks to be administered by an individual inspector. 3
Continuous Inspection = Requires inspection during the entire operation. Example: Concrete Paving 4
Intermittent Inspection = Requires inspection at critical times in the operation. Example: Excavation 5
End of Product = Requires inspection only after completion of the operation and during the construction operation when time permits. Currently, no items are designated as end of product inspection. 6
Staffing Guidelines are listed Trying to find the right balance between inspector experience and what is needed for projects Evaluated on a project by project basis Consider other factors such as job conditions and contractors performance on past projects Priority Level of associated risk resulting from insufficient inspection 7
Guide provides minimum inspection requirements based on preventing high risk consequences of failure Looking for efficiencies during inspection 8
