This course introduces the MDOT’s Ancillary Structures (AS) Program, including the purpose of inventory, inspection, and design of the structure types. The AS include culverts less than 10-foot span, walls, sign support structures, towers, and various types of poles. This course goal is to acquaint attendees with information to aid in the inspection process and impart an initial understanding of the inspection results such as Work Recommendations (Work Recs) and Requests for Action (RFAs).
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
Field inspectors, inspection quality control and quality assurance staff, maintenance personnel, engineers, program stakeholders, and other personnel involved in the installation, inspection, maintenance, operations, and repair of ancillary highway structures. This course is not a design course; however, the information would be helpful to those working in the design of ancillary structures.
This course introduces MDOT’s Ancillary Structures (AS) Program’s use of mobile applications to collect inventory and inspection results.
