The Chapter’s Underground Utility Construction Inspector School (UUCIS) recently completed a successful 2017-2018 school year. Metro location classes were again hosted at the City of Bloomington’s Public Works Facility, and were then broadcast out to this year’s out-of-state locations in Cedar Rapids and Ames, Iowa. A total of 25 of students earned their certificate in the Bloomington location, and 10 students earned their certificate in each of the two Iowa locations: Ames and Cedar Rapids.
Each year the UUCIS program was designed to provide practical information to enable people with underground utility inspection responsibilities to expertly and confidently do their jobs. Course topics include:
- Pre-Project/Construction Preparation
- Project/Construction Safety
- Underground Pipeline Construction Inspection
- Scope Changes
