The Pipe may include, but are not limited to, round concrete pipe, elliptical concrete pipe, mitered end sections, and underdrain pipe.

This procedure provides guidance for the development and implementation of the Quality Control (QC) Programs for the manufacture, storage, and transportation of precast concrete drainage structures and box culverts (Structures) for Florida Department of Transportation (Department) projects. The Structures may include, but are not limited to, inlets, manholes, junction boxes, endwalls, three-sided precast concrete culverts, and precast concrete box culverts. 

This procedure provides guidance for the development and implementation of the Quality Control (QC) Programs for the manufacture, storage, and transportation of precast prestressed concrete products (Products) for Florida Department of Transportation (Department) projects.

The procedure provides guidance for the development and implementation of the Quality Control (QC) Programs for the manufacture, storage, and transportation of the incidental precast concrete products (Products) for Florida Department of Transportation (Department) projects. The Products may include, but are not limited to sound barriers, retaining wall systems, temporary traffic barriers, light pole foundations, sign foundations, pull and junction boxes, and prestressed concrete poles.

The purpose of this procedure is to establish a standard method for evaluating the effectiveness of Prestressed Concrete Producer (Plant) Quality Control (QC) processes for minimizing the incidence of major defects in prestressed concrete Products. This evaluation process requires monitoring the rate of major production defects that occur in Products; using these major defects rates as a basis for evaluating the effectiveness of the Plant’s QC efforts; and taking action that will improve the Plant’s QC efforts when they are below the satisfactory level.

This procedure provides guidance to the precast/prestressed concrete fabrication facilities (Plants) that are involved in the manufacture of products using SCC. The procedure includes requirements related to the Plants’ Quality Control (QC) Plans, field trial batches of the concrete mix designs, and inspection and testing of production concrete. Obtain SCC from a concrete plant listed on the Department’s Structural Concrete Production Facility Listing.

This procedure provides guidance to the precast/prestressed concrete fabrication facilities (Plants) that are involved in the manufacture of products using flowing concrete. The procedure includes requirements related to the Plants’ Quality Control (QC) Plans, the submittal of the mix designs, laboratory and field trial batches of the concrete mixes, and inspection and testing of production concrete. Produce flowing concrete using a central mixer at an approved on-site facility, or demonstrate that using an off-site ready-mixed concrete facility with an accepted QC Plan meets the requirements of this Section.

This guide establishes policies that govern the production of structural concrete used by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), herein after called the Department. The guide also provides the Structural Concrete Production Facility (Plant) with information related to the methods and the minimum requirements for Quality Control (QC) Plan, and criteria by which the Department will review the QC Plan for acceptance.

This guide establishes policies governing the production of paving concrete produced by central mix plants, used by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), herein after called the Department. The guide also provides the Concrete Pavement Production Facility (Plant) with information related to the methods and minimum requirements for a Producer Quality Control Plan (PQCP), as well as, the criteria by which the Department will review the PQCP for acceptance.

This document provides guidance for the preparation and implementation of the Mass Concrete Control Plan (MCCP) when required by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), herein after called the Department. The guide also describes the responsibilities of the Contractor’s Specialty Engineer in the preparation, submittal, and follow-up of the MCCP.

This procedure provides guidance as a step-by-step process for the quality control of all new and currently accepted facilities that produce structural metal, metal components, and use protective coatings for the Florida Department of Transportation (Department). 

This procedure provides guidance to the fabricators for the review and approval of the fabrication facilities’ welding procedure specifications.

This procedure provides guidance for the development and implementation of procedures for the use of Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing on Florida Department of Transportation structural steel bridge projects.

This guideline outlines application details for Computed Radiology (CR) examination using a process in which photostimulable luminescence is emitted by the penetrating radiation detector to a Storage Phosphor Imaging Plate (SPIP). Because the technique is complex and the applications for CR examination are diverse, this guideline is not intended to be limiting or restrictive, but rather to address the general applications of the technology and thereby facilitate its use. The general principles discussed in this guideline apply broadly to penetrating radiation CR systems. However, this guideline is written specifically for use with X-ray and gamma-ray systems.

This section provides pre-approved repair procedures for structural steel produced by fabricators.

This section provides pre-approved paint repair procedures for structural steel produced by fabricators.
