Acceptance Testing for CEI

Training CurriculumViewerMaintainer Editor GPS & Cable Mapping GPS Seed File Creation Feature Import Template Intro to ITSFM & Spec 611 Acceptance Testing for CEIs

The ITSFM training for Construction, Engineering and Inspection (CEI) professionals focuses on the contractor’s as-built deliverables and the CEI’s acceptance testing requirements defined in Standard Specification – Section 611, Acceptance Procedures for Traffic Control Signals and Devices.

The curriculum includes six modules beginning with the contractor’s responsibility to furnish as-built plans and other documentation from new construction projects needed to populate the ITSFM system. The contractor’s responsibility is followed by as-built guidelines that discuss the CEI’s role and responsibility for quality assurance and as-built document acceptance testing. The training ends with two days of hands-on exercises where the CEI performs acceptance testing on actual submittals delivered on previous projects.
