• WACEL has been tapped by Prince George’s County to help it revamp it's Third Party Inspection Program.  On Friday, December 9, 2018, we were represented at the inaugural meeting of this effort. County officials informed us that the legal department is requiring the Department of Inspections to obtain a signed copy of Attachment 5 of the existing TPIP Program in order to sign off on projects.  We realize that almost no one has ever signed Attachment 5 in the past, but moving forward for the time being you will have to submit Attachment 5. Attachment 5 is the final inspections report and Attachment 6 is the Third-Party Inspection Program Certification Form.  Both are now required until the update to the TPIP program has been completed.

• The WACEL Board of Directors voted on during the April meeting to require the Soils I Field Practical to be submitted prior to taking the written exam.  This is effective August 1, 2018.

• WACEL Study Guides and videos demonstrating concrete testing are now available online.  Click here to go to the Resources Section.
