Corps of Engineers district offices in Jacksonville, Florida, Mobile, Alabama, and Savannah, Georgia are offering the Construction Quality Management (CQM) course on a variety of dates in 2009 and 2010. This course, developed in partnership with Associated Builders and Contractors and the Associated General Contractors, instructs Contractor Superintendents, Quality Control (QC) staff, and foremen in construction quality control and how it relates to Owner Quality Assurance (QA). It is useful for Owner Construction Managers, Facility Engineers, especially anyone dealing with public sector construction. The course describes the QC/QA system successfully used by the Corps of Engineers and NAVFAC. The concepts are increasingly being adopted by state agencies, public authorities and other local public sector owners. The course details planning concepts which are prevention oriented to reduce tear out, improve quality and improve schedule. The instructors are Corps of Engineer employees who work in the District construction branch on current projects. The course uses video tape, class instruction, workbook exercises with discussion and role playing exercises. Currently all scheduled classes in Savannah, Georgia are filled, but openings are available in Jacksonville, Florida and Mobile, Alabama. Click on the links below for more detailed information.

ranger was patrolling at Elrod Ferry Park on Labor Day,
specifically talking water safety, when she saw two teenage boys
walking down the shoreline with their life jackets on. She went
over to talk to them. They had been out in a small john boat
when it flipped over, throwing them out. During the conversation
the boy's mother ran up and started hugging them. It turns out
that one of the boys could not swim, but luckily he was wearing
his life jacket. Why? When the family arrived at the park on
Friday the mother had seen the decal message (picture below) on
the gate house window about wearing your life jackets and
insisted on the boys wearing their life jackets. She had MADE
them put their life jackets on before they went out this
particular time. Some fishermen retrieved their boat, and the
two young men and everyone on the beach once again realized the
importance of life jackets, (and listening to your mama). The
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers South Atlantic Division is
headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The South Atlantic Division is
one of eight Corps regional offices, responsible for all or part of
eight southeastern states. Through its five district offices, the
Division manages military construction,
