  1. FDOT Certification Requirements Raw MaterialsFor Precast Concete Pipe and Box Culverts

  2. Material Certification is Important • Producer Statement of Product Quality • FDOT Requirement • FDOT Section 6 • FDOT Materials Manual • ASTM Specification Requirements

  3. FDOT Section 6 6-1.3 Certification: 6-1.3.1 Producer Certification: Ensure completeness and correlate certification(s) of materials provided. Furnish to the Engineer for approval, certification from the producer for all products listed on the Department’s Qualified Products List (QPL) and when required by the applicable material Specification(s). Do not incorporate any manufactured product(s) or material(s) into the project without approval from the Engineer. Materials will not be considered for payment when not accompanied by Producer Certification. Producers may obtain sample certification forms through the Department’s website. Ensure that the certification is provided on the producer’s letterhead and is signed by a legally responsible person from the producer.

  4. FDOT Materials Manual Volume II • 6.2.7.4 Quality Control of Certified Materials • 6.2.7.4.1 General • Ensure that all materials used to manufacture of Pipe are from Department approved sources and comply with all requirements as specified herein. Concrete Pipe • 6.3.7.4 Quality Control of Certified Materials • 6.3.7.4.1 General • Ensure that all materials used to manufacture of Structures are from Department approved sources and comply with requirements as specified herein. Box Culverts

  5. Materials Certifications All materials used to manufacture RCP and RCB must be from FDOT approved sources. Department Approved Sources Source Codes Qualified Products List (QPL)

  6. What Materials Need Certification? • Steel and Welded Wire Reinforcement • ASTM / AASHTO / Section 415 • Coarse and Fine Aggregates • Sections 901 and 902 • Cement • Section 921 • Pozzolans / Slag / Fly Ash • Section 929 • Water • Section 923

  7. What Materials Need Certification? • Gasket Material and Lubricant • Section 942 • Round and Profile Rubber Gaskets • Cold Adhesive Preformed Plastic Material • Geotextile Fabrics • Section 985 • Standard Index 199, Type D-3 • Curing Materials • Burlap / Waterproof Paper / PE Sheets • Section 925

  8. Materials From TheQualified Products List (QPL) • http://www.dot.state.fl.us/specificationsoffice/QPLindex.htm • Concrete Patching Materials • Section 926 Epoxy Compounds • Section 930 Materials for Concrete Repair • Non-shrink Grout • Plug Lifting Holes /Repair Defects • Section 942

  9. Materials From TheQualified Products List (QPL) • Admixtures • Section 924 • Plastic Chairs / Spacers / Bolsters • Section 415 Steel Reinforcement • Resilient Connectors • Connects Pipe to Structures • Section 934

  10. Be Aware of Contract Documents • Note that steel is not in the QPL • Steel certifications must meet contract documents (e.g., standard specifications) • Not all materials may be listed in FDOT QPL or FDOT Approved Source list • Always understand material requirements of contract documents

  11. How To Check For Certification • Material supplier provides plant with a certification statement/delivery ticket • Check FDOT Materials Office Web Site • Approved Sources • http://www.dot.state.fl.us/statematerialsoffice/quality/programs/qualitycontrol/materialslistings/index.htm • Check QPL Web Site • http://www.dot.state.fl.us/specificationsoffice/QPLindex.htm

  12. Want to know the FDOT Source Codes that correspond to aggregate gradations and types? The FDOT document, “Instructions for Coding of Aggregate Test Data for Computerization”, lists all FDOT aggregate sources codes and describes the corresponding aggregate type and gradations.

  13. Approved Material Producer Web Site Approved Pipe and Box Producers Click Link to View Producer Approval Status • http://www.dot.state.fl.us/statematerialsoffice/quality/programs/qualitycontrol/materialslistings/index.htm

  14. Sample Certification for Profile Rubber Gasket Company Info Redacted

  15. Gasket Lubricant Certification 12.4 Certification: 12.4.1 The lubricant manufacturer shall supply the purchaser written certification that the gasket lubricant has met all test requirements specified to the gasket samples supplied. 12.4.2 Tests shall be performed each year on a gasket lubricant for certification, which shall be valid for one year provided there are no changes in the materials or process used in the manufacture of either the gaskets or the lubricant. 12.4.3 No gasket lubricant shall be used on concrete pipe joints meeting this specification without valid certification provided to the concrete pipe manufacturer. Source: ASTM C 497Standard Test Methods for Concrete Pipe, Manhole Sections, or Tile

  16. Sample Certification from Fly Ash Supplier to Plant.

  17. RCP and Precast RCB Products Need Certification Too • Plant QC Plans Certified • Material Certification Form 206 • Notarized and Submitted with 1st Delivery • Each Delivery Ticket is QC Stamped • Applies to Pipe and Precast Box Culverts • Applies to Incidental Precast • http://www.dot.state.fl.us/statematerialsoffice/administration/resources/library/publications/certifications/sampleforms.htm

  18. Sample Certification Form to be used for first delivery of pipe or precast box culvert to FDOT project. Subsequent delivery tickets shall have a QC stamp and will not require notarization.

  19. Material CertificationSummary • Applies to all raw materials • Applies to finished RCP or RCB • Certifies compliance with FDOT and applicable ASTM / AASHTO criteria • Adhere to certification requirements in FDOT Materials Manual • Volume II, Section 6.2.7.4 (RCP) • Volume II, Section 6.3.7.4 (Precast Box Culverts)
