Quality Assurance

The Oregon Department of Transportation’s Construction Quality Assurance program is vital to projects administered by ODOT and by our consultants. We ensure that quality materials and workmanship are used..

The QA Program consists of three separate and distinct sub-programs:

  • Quality Control
  • Verification
  • Independent Assurance

Only certified personnel are authorized to conduct testing. Visit Technician Certification Program page. It includes information about what the certification involves, how to become certified, and a certified technicians list.

ODOT TM 323 Notification (Determination of Calibration Factors for Determining Asphalt Cement Content of Asphalt Concrete Pavement by the Ignition Method) For Certified Asphalt Technicians (CAT1) and Certified Mix Design Technicians (CMDT).

Regional Support

The regional QA staff is responsible for verification testing and independent assurance testing on all ODOT projects. They are also the primary resource for questions about materials testing and administration of ODOT’s QA Program on construction projects.
