Geotechnical Field Services
Simply put, the field technician is the eyes and ears of the certifying engineer and can make or break a project, possibly leading to catastrophic conditions in the future. To perform field testing at an acceptable level, the technician must understand the principals behind the tests, the intent of the design, the material characteristics, and be able to discern when the test numbers are not geotechnical-1representative of the actual conditions they are observing in the field.
Geosynthetics Services
Although geosynthetics can be installed without third party CQA, the quality of the final product is documented to greatly increase when a third party CQA is present. This is particularly important when dealing with the geomembrane liners, which are typically installed as an impermeable barrier to keep components contained.
Other Services
Leak Integrity: Studies show that nearly 75 percent of the damage found in geomembrane systems happens when the drainage/protective layer is placed over top of the geomembrane, not during geomembrane construction.
Staff Support Services
Project Management
Go beyond the typical training and develop skills that will make your field team shine above the rest! Communication processes and structures. Build standardized field routines: pre-project checklist, pre-site daily readiness, end of day punch list. Boost agency/client relations. Structure your team for efficiency & success.Consulting
As a landfill owner or manager, you want to get the most out of your CQA plan. After all, your construction project is a huge investment and you want the greatest return on that investment. Turn to CQA Solutions` consulting services to maximize your ROI. Get the most out of your CQA Plan (or completely overhaul it!). Avoid costly delays during the construction season by addressing issues from the start. Gain improved understanding and utilization of the CQA role.
Pre-Employment Screening
Have you ever been “burned” when hiring a field technician that didn’t live up to your expectations? Our pre-employment screenings will provide you with a better understanding of a potential employee’s actual abilities.. Screenings are designed to evaluate various skill sets such as: blue print reading, scaling, writing, spelling and math.. Industry specific knowledge on topics such as: Earthwork, Geosynthetics, general CQA responsibilities, safety, construction processes and proper documentation methods.. Hire the right person for the job!
Professional Evaluation Exam
Your training time is important to us. We offer a Professional Evaluation Exam to determine the students’ current knowledge level so the training can be tailored around your staff’s needs. Determine areas of training needed for your staff. Determine who you want to train.. Report shows areas of strengths and weaknesses. Determine if an existing employee is ready to be promoted to the next level. Exams are offered for Compacted Clay Liners & Geosynthetics. When used with Mobile Solutions, courses will be tailored to ensure the greatest learning impact for your organization.
Lead Technician Mentoring
Legendary football coach Vince Lombardi said, “Leaders are made, they are not born!” He was right; the process of leadership requires guided knowledge and experience. “One on One” mentoring. Customized training develops the student’s abilities to be pro-active, recognize potential problems before they happen, and manage CQA crews.. Typically, the training lasts 3-5 days with 1-2 in a classroom environment and 3-4 days spent in the field on an actual project. Watch your bottom line increase as lead technicians take on more responsibilities, freeing up engineering staff to handle more projects. Requirements: minimum of two-seasons of CQA experience in the areas for which they will be trained (earthwork or geosynthetics).
Auditing
Landfill Owners: We will audit the CQA services you currently have and make recommendations where efficiency can be increased and provide the evaluation tool you have been looking for. Engineering Firms: We can audit your CQA staff and procedures and make recommendations that will allow you to better serve your clients. Regulatory Agencies: We can augment your staff to resolve issues for a higher comfort level with CQA efforts within your region. Construction Firms: Have you ever questioned your compaction test results and wished you had a way of checking? CQA Solutions can provide the peace of mind you deserve.
