Jim Lovelace - Construction QC Program Administrator

I am in charge of breaking things (I shamelessly borrowed that line from Richard).  My Quality Control work consists of testing materials like concrete (breaking stuff), soil, and making certain that all acceptance testing is performed an accepted, this includes stuff like HVAC systems, electrical sytems, grounding systems, elevators, escalators and even elevated railway systems. There are several consultants who work for me who do inspection and testing.

Many of the large construction projects I have worked on are "Monumental Projects" such as the Cumberland Gap Tunnel, Sandy Springs Underground Subway Station, North Springs Subway Station and the connecting rail lines and tunnels and the Fifth Runway Bridge as well as the APM CONRAC Elevated People Mover System at the Atlanta Airport. I work for one of the largest Civil and Heavy Construction Contractors in the US.

I have written fourteen Quality Control Manuals and several other in-house manuals for our company. I also wear a couple of other hats, I am the Regional EEO Manager and was just appointed the Director of Corporate Diversity for the Atlanta Region. I find this part of my job to be very challenging and am now spending more time working in these areas as I transition into this new postion.

Quality Control clap.gifRight up my Alley biggrin.  I started out doin QC on Highway projects for the DOT but worked for an Engineering Consulting firm.  I thought I wanted to get away from all the field testing, and tried my hand in drafting for the same company but my Supervisor convinced me that my "True Calling" was testing and QC/QA.  I now work in a Lab for the DOT, doing Acceptence testing, at times it feels like I am still out in the field only a little less humidity, and not as hot.
What manuals have you written?  I'ld be interested in looking them over. 

Jim, you don't have to be ashamed of borrowing my line of breaking things, after all we all all related some how confuse
