IECA 2019 Annual Conference and Expo

Denver, Colorado, Thursday, February 19 – 21

Jay Sprague presented “You Can’t Know What You Don’t Measure! A Road Map for Manufacturing Quality Control and Certification of Rolled Erosion Control Products”. This presentation included a comprehensive manufacturing quality control and certification protocol for RECPs which, if followed by all manufacturers of RECPs, will assure statistical accuracy and uniformity in the reporting of basic RECP material properties.  Detailed guidance was given on the establishment of a quality control lab, as well as the use of applicable ASTM standards for sampling frequency, specimen preparation, and test implementation.  Further, certification of specification conformance based on industry standard statistical analyses was reviewed.
