Quad-Lock Qualified Installer Program
Quad-Lock has a long established tradition of excellence in training the installers of its products. Quad-Lock is committed to providing the best training tools and access to experienced professionals to help ensure the success of every project undertaken.
Quad-Lock has introduced a two-step qualification process that will educate installers on the latest techniques being used to build with our solutions.
- The first step, or 'pre-qualification',
is a
6½ hour training course
that offers a mix of classroom and hands-on practices. At
the end of this course there is a written test that must be
passed to be recognized as 'pre-qualified' installer to work
with Quad-Lock's building solutions.
- The second step is an assessment of the installer's abilities by a Quad-Lock representative (or designate) on an actual jobsite. This evaluation will answer a number of questions, such as:
- Has the candidate followed manufacturer's specifications on a given installation?
- Has the candidate followed accepted practices for concrete placement?
- Has the candidate constructed the project in accordance with plan specifications and engineering?
- What is the general condition of the job? Plumb, Straight, Square and Level?
- Has the candidate followed acceptable safety standards?
- Is the jobsite clean, well organized and representative of Quad-Lock standards?
- Is the candidate properly licensed, insured and bonded in the jurisdiction in which he normally operates?
An overall review of the job will be done to evaluate problems experienced and corrective action taken. After a successful evaluation, the installer will be endorsed as a "Qualified Quad-Lock Installer" and receive sales leads, technical support etc. There are 3 categories that installers may progress through in the qualification process:
- Level I: Construction of below grade walls; Walls 8' high or less
- Level II: Above grade single-storey construction
- Level III: Commercial and multi-storey construction
