The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is using RFID technology that is enabling its own laboratory testing of samples from job sites, as well as inspections of precast concrete materials at the sites of suppliers, to be captured and then managed electronically. The agency is now able to better manage where materials used in an infrastructure construction project originated, which inspections were administered and the results of the inspections. Learn how NCDOT is experiencing a reduction in labor, vehicle and fuel costs (stemming from the reduced time that inspectors spend onsite, and the fewer visits made), as well as savings that have resulted by replacing the manual system previously in use.
