Concrete QA/QC & Inspection for Civil/Structural Inspectors

This course offers a practical and comprehensive guide to QA/QC and inspection procedures for concrete works—ideal for civil engineers, structural inspectors, site supervisors, and construction professionals seeking to ensure concrete quality, structural integrity, and full compliance with project specifications and standards.

Whether you’re inspecting small residential elements or major structural components, effective quality control is essential to safety and durability. The course begins with core concepts in concrete technology, mix design, and material properties, supported by relevant codes such as ACI, ASTM, and BS/EN standards.

Learners are then guided through step-by-step inspection methods for foundations, columns, beams, slabs, walls, and other concrete elements. Key topics include formwork and rebar inspection, checking concrete cover, pre-pour and post-pour procedures, slump and workability control, curing methods, testing requirements, and identifying defects like honeycombing, segregation, and cracking.

You’ll also learn how to prepare inspection reports, use QA/QC checklists, verify compliance with approved drawings, manage non-conformities, and communicate quality issues clearly and professionally. Practical tools, real project examples, and downloadable course texts make the lessons easy to apply on active job sites.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to confidently inspect concrete works, detect issues early, document findings accurately, and ensure concrete structures meet the required strength, quality, and long-term performance for successful construction projects.
