To achieve these objectives, the Construction Section maintains a dedicated team of technicians to handle the management, inspection, and testing needs for contracts, projects, and bridges. Professional engineering consultants and private materials testing companies are utilized to supplement specific needs. This partnership with private industry helps Construction ensure that quality construction takes place on all District construction projects.
