American Shotcrete AssociationContractor Qualification Program
The ASA Contractor Qualification Program (CQP) is a straight-forward program that helps establish a shotcrete contractor’s qualifications by review of the contractor’s previous work. This review is conducted by the Review Task Group within the Contractor Qualification Committee, whose members have extensive experience in successful shotcrete work. This qualification program provides a distinct service to the industry by assuring specifiers that shotcrete contractors reviewed here have a proven work record for completion of successful projects of similar work and scope. This qualification program is based on the ASA Board Position Paper, “Qualifications of the Shotcrete Construction Team.”
Levels of Qualification:
There are two levels of qualification, Level I and Level II in the process(es), i.e. wet-mx or dry-mix, appropriate to the work performed by applicant.
- Shotcrete Contractor (Level I) – Representative projects which have thin, lightly-reinforced shotcrete sections that can be easily accessed and placed would be considered “Level I”.
- Shotcrete Contractor (Level II) – Representative projects which have thick, heavily-reinforced sections or sections with difficult access would be considered “Level II”.
