WFA is familiar with the required SCDOT Construction Forms. These include contractor wage regulations, concrete and earthwork testing forms, drilled shaft and driven piles, asphalt rate reports, etc. SCDOT requires AS-1 spreadsheets on all fuel adjustments and final project As-Builts which are included in our experience as inspectors.
