What is the purpose of CTQP Qualification?
For the efficiency and safety of the transportation infrastructure in Florida, it is advisable to systematize construction standards, the use of materials, the inspection of structures, and quality management, as well as to train personnel for all of this. That is why construction engineering and material inspection and testing firms are required to maintain a cadre of highly qualified inspectors, engineers, and professionals on active projects with the Florida Department of Transportation. Currently, there are several inspection programs related to construction, which are qualified by said department within the CTQP. These programs are:
