QC PAVING MANAGER (CORRIDOR-WIDE) Responsible for field coordination of the Construction Quality Management Program for fast-track construction of cement stabilized subgrade, cement treated base, concrete (CRCP & CPCD) and asphalt pavements. The project was among the first in Texas to accept a pavement based on Effective Modulus of Subgrade Reaction(k-Value) and Subgrade Effective Resilient Modulus (Mr) criteria. Design allowed a modulus of subgrade reaction of up to 800 psi/in with the condition that the higher modulus be verified through testing during construction. Protocols were established to correlate the moduli. Mr from soil samples and measurements from the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) were utilized for field control. Soil samples were tested in an independent Georgia laboratory in accordance with AASHTO T307.Successfully complied with intense testing requirements of in-situ subgrade soils, treated subgrade soils and treated bases. Dealt with highly varied native soils ranging from heavy clays to sandy gravels and weak silty subgrade soils intermittently along the project.
