to understanding client needs, delivering creative value-added solutions, and measuring our own performance relative to the success of our clients. WSP has provided CEI services on a wide variety of highway, bridge, and airport projects including geotechnical explorations and engineering analyses, Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE), construction materials testing and inspection, construction supervision, pavement design and evaluation, and data collection. Services include concrete testing, steel reinforcement inspection and testing, steel precast (architectural), precast inspection (structural), foundation inspection, soils testing, and testing/inspection of masonry, fireproofing, waterproofing, roofing, and bituminous materials. WSP has been a leader in nondestructive testing for large bridge retrofits, rehabilitation, and new construction for more than 30 years. With a depth of in-house Certified Welding Inspectors (CWIs) and senior CWIs, coating specialists, and inspectors available, the WSP team brings the knowledge of project administration and technical expertise our clients need to deliver a project which meets specifications, stays on schedule, and prevents safety and environmental violations. Our inspection personnel are supported by an experienced engineering staff comprised of metallurgical,

welding, civil, and mechanical engineers, along with many others. WSP’s registered professional engineers maintain direct control over all testing activities to verify that appropriate data gathering and testing techniques are employed meeting a variety of national standards. Adequate data are obtained without collecting superfluous information. WSP engineers supervise and control testing services, provide engineering judgments and recommendations based on reliable data, and monitor the implementation of recommendations throughout the construction process. Construction testing engineers carry out simple tests as well as sophisticated and complex quality control programs. Construction and materials engineers are supported by fully trained technicians, with experience and national certification, working directly under their supervision. These teams frequently set up and operate laboratory testing facilities at the site for the duration of construction.
