Foundation & Geotechnical Engineering, LLC (FGE) offers Construction Training Qualification Program courses required by the Florida Department of Transportation  (FDOT) for Drilled Shaft and Pile Driving Inspection.  Please follow the menu links for course schedules.

Our instructors are not only well versed with the  department's Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, but are also extremely knowledgeable and experienced with FDOT construction projects.  This is what sets FGE's instructors apart from the rest.  By choosing FGE as your training facilitators, you will be gaining a practical-hands-on-approach to inspecting drilled shafts and driven piles.
 
The courses are typically designed to run 2 days from 8 AM to 5 PM, with an exam on day 3 following homework review.  The open-book exams  are multiple choice.  There is also a proficiency exam for the Drilled Shaft course that includes demonstration to test for density, viscosity, sand content and pH of slurry.  The Drilled Shaft written exam is 2 hours long and the Driven Pile written exam is also 2 hours long.

The Drilled Shaft and Driven Pile Inspector Qualification courses are stand-alone training courses developed to provide a basis for state qualification of personnel as Inspectors on FDOT Projects.  The goal of these courses is to provide Inspectors with the practical knowledge, accepted standard Industry practices and SSRBC Specifications for fulfilling the role of a Drilled Shaft or Driven Pile Inspector.
