Auger Cast Pile Inspector

The Auger Cast Pile Inspection for Bridge Structures course supports the qualification of inspectors involved in auger cast pile inspection and acceptance on FDOT bridge projects.

Under the FDOT Construction Training and Qualification Manual, any person participating in the inspection and acceptance of auger cast pile operations for bridge structures must hold the CTQP Auger Cast Pile Inspector qualification.

Course Overview

The course prepares candidates for the written examination required for the CTQP Auger Cast Pile Inspector qualification.

The referenced CTQM chapter does not specify:

  • The duration of the training course
  • The number of classroom days
  • The course modules or instructional hours
  • The maximum class size

These details should only be published when confirmed by the current CTQP course schedule or official provider information.

Qualification Requirements

To obtain the CTQP Auger Cast Pile Inspector qualification for bridge structures, candidates must:

  • Directly observe, inspect, and record the complete installation of at least 30 auger cast piles for bridge structures
  • Use the applicable FDOT forms to document the installations
  • Pass the required written examination with a minimum score of 70%

The document previously permitted building-pile experience to substitute for bridge-pile experience only through June 30, 2024. That temporary exception has expired and should not be advertised as currently available.

FDOT may request evidence of the required experience before or after qualification is granted.

Written Examination

  • Open book
  • Multiple choice
  • Maximum duration of two hours
  • Minimum passing score of 70%
  • Electronically graded by the CTQP Administrator
  • Results posted in the Training and Qualification Database System

Candidates may challenge the ACPI examination without attending the classroom presentations.

Qualification Date and Validity

The qualification date is established after the final qualification requirement is completed. The CTQP Auger Cast Pile Inspector qualification is valid for 60 months from the examination date.

Project Administrators must confirm that inspectors meet the applicable requirements before assigning them to auger cast pile inspection.

Requalification

Applicants must reapply and take the applicable examination. CTQP geotechnical qualifications are issued for 60 months.

  • Inspectors involved in auger cast pile operations for bridges
  • Personnel participating in pile inspection and acceptance
  • Contractor and consultant geotechnical inspectors

Important Notice

Completing the course or passing the examination alone does not confer the CTQP qualification. Candidates must also document the required inspection experience involving 30 bridge piles.
