Research Idea Scope

TERI Database Administrator Notes:  Funded as NCHRP 25-25 48 “Compendium of Environmental Fieldwork Technologies”

Maintain an ongoing compendium of environmental fieldwork technologies

TERI Administrator Note (January 2009) Project funded under NCHRP 25-25 series: Task 48. Planned completion date: 9/1/09.

Many State DOT’s use different field sampling technology, processes and tools everyday on their typical projects.  Some of these efforts are state of the art practices and yet others, are simple approaches that DOT’s have developed to address everyday needs.  The objective of this research is to develop and maintain an ongoing compendium of environmental fieldwork technologies that can be easily shared with State DOT’s to enable time and cost savings for each DOT.
