A Concrete Construction Special Inspector is a person qualified to inspect and record the results of concrete construction inspection based on codes

and job specifications. The program covers inspection during pre-placement, placement, and post-placement operations. A Concrete Construction Inspector-in-Training is a person who is knowledgeable about inspection procedures for concrete construction, including pre-

placement, placement and post-placement operations; but does not have the experience required to qualify as an ACI Concrete Construction Special

Inspector.

The programs requires a knowledge of concrete construction, including plans reading, formwork installation and removal, reinforcements, embedments,

sampling and testing freshly mixed concrete, conveying, placing, consolidation, finishing, jointing curing, and protection. The technical resource materials used in these programs include the following:
