About this file
This is a Qualified Product Policy document issued by the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) dated July 24, 2019, establishing procedures and requirements for ready-mix concrete suppliers seeking qualification to furnish concrete for SCDOT projects. Concrete suppliers must submit plant certification from the National Ready Mix Concrete Association (NRMCA) for each plant proposed for SCDOT work, along with documentation confirming that the certifying inspector completed SCDOT-related training through the Carolinas Ready Mixed Concrete Association (CRMCA). Qualification requests should be directed to Robert VanRynn, Concrete Materials Supervisor at the SCDOT Office of Materials and Research. All qualified suppliers remain subject to SCDOT specifications and requirements, and SCDOT personnel retain authority to conduct unannounced quality assurance inspections at any time. Suppliers removed from the qualified product list must obtain new NRMCA certification and inspector documentation for reinstatement consideration.
The policy specifies detailed certification requirements for Inspecting Engineers and Engineers' Assistants conducting plant inspections. Inspecting Engineers must be registered Professional Engineers in South Carolina (with dual registration for out-of-state facilities) and must complete an 8-hour CRMCA training course, pass a written examination, and maintain current qualification on the CRMCA list, with certifications valid for five years. Engineers' Assistants must hold NRMCA Production Control (Level II) or Concrete Technologist (Level III) certification and meet similar training and examination requirements. Both categories may be plant or raw material supplier employees and must be present during inspections, with the Inspecting Engineer required to be present for at least 10 percent of inspection time. Additionally, SCDOT requires annual certification and re-certification of all concrete delivery trucks using NRMCA "OPTION B" inspection procedures, performed by certified Inspecting Engineers.

SOUTH CAROLINA
DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
QUALIFIED READY-MIX CONCRETE PLANTS
The purpose of this policy is to establish the procedures for becoming qualified as a supplier of ready-mix concrete. Only qualified suppliers will be permitted to furnish concrete for SCDOT projects.
To be considered for qualification, the Concrete supplier must submit a plant certification from the National Ready Mix Concrete Association (NRMCA) for each plant proposed to provide concrete for SCDOT projects. Documentation must also be provided showing that the inspector certifying the plant has completed the additional SCDOT related training provided by the Carolinas Ready Mixed Concrete Association (CRMCA) prior to the inspection. The CRMCA can be reached at (704) 717- 9199 or on the Internet at www.crmca.com.
Requests for qualification should be submitted to:
Robert VanRynn Concrete Materials Supervisor SCDOT Office of Materials and Research PO Box 191 Columbia, SC 29202 Phone: (803) 737-6689 Email: vanrynnrj@scdot.org
Suppliers included on the qualified product list must still meet all SCDOT specifications and requirements for the equipment, materials, and procedures used during the production of concrete.
Additionally, SCDOT personnel have the authority to perform quality assurance inspections of the plants furnishing concrete for SCDOT work at any time without notice.
Plants that do not comply with SCDOT standard specifications or the NRMCA certification program requirements, or that are not furnishing concrete for SCDOT projects, may be taken off the qualified product list. If the SCDOT removes a supplier from qualified product list, the supplier must provide a new NRMCA certification along with the inspector documentation to be considered for reinstatement to the list.
The following are the requirements for NRMCA Inspecting Engineer and Engineer’s Assistant Certification Program.
