What is the purpose of material certification in FDOT projects?

The purpose of material certification in FDOT projects is to confirm that the materials used in construction meet specified requirements and standards. This process ensures quality control by verifying that the materials comply with established regulations and specifications necessary for the project. Material certification serves as a critical component in maintaining integrity, safety, and durability in construction. By certifying materials, project managers can ensure that they meet the technical standards required, thus minimizing the risk of failure and ensuring the overall success of the construction project. This ultimately supports the goal of delivering safe, functional, and sustainable infrastructure.
