This Month’s Webinar

Certification Reports: Signed, Sealed and Debunked?

July 17, 2025
12:30 p.m. Eastern

Construction is done. The certification report is in the hands of the agency. You exhale deeply, finally, the long road of design, planning, construction, and budgeting is behind you. The hardest part is over, right? All that remains is regulatory approval, which should be straightforward compared to everything you’ve already tackled.

But be careful, this sense of relief can be dangerously misleading.
While your certification report may get approved, the real question is: should it? Should it have been submitted in its current form at all? And more critically, would it hold up under legal scrutiny if something goes wrong?

This webinar takes a comprehensive look at the construction certification report process, starting with its purpose. We’ll cover what a solid Cert Report should include and how those contents support a signed and sealed declaration by a Professional Engineer.

Throughout the session, Glen will share key insights from over a decade of project audits. Many of his real-world examples will leave you wondering how some projects ever received certification, let alone regulatory approval. More importantly, Glen will offer practical guidance on how to avoid those same pitfalls.

By the end of the webinar, you’ll be better equipped to produce a thorough, defensible certification report – boosting both your chances of swift regulatory approval and the overall quality of your containment system project.
