If an Earthwork test goes to Resolution and is not verified with the QC, which results will be used?

When an Earthwork test goes to Resolution and is not verified with Quality Control (QC), the results that will be used are the Verification Test (VT) results. In this context, the process of resolution indicates that there has been some inconsistency or dispute regarding the initial test results, prompting a need for further clarification or validation through additional testing.

The reason VT results are used is that they serve as a secondary method of verifying the initial findings. In situations where QC verification cannot confirm the original test outcomes, the VT results provide a reliable alternative. These results are conducted following established protocols to ensure that they accurately reflect the material properties being tested.

Utilizing VT results helps maintain the integrity of the data and ensures that decisions made regarding the Earthwork operations are based on reliable and validated information, thereby upholding quality and compliance standards.
