CONTRACTOR FALSIFIED ENGINEERING CREDENTIALS

In conjunction with the Department of Transportation OIG, we investigated allegations that a former employee of an Amtrak contractor falsified his engineering credentials. The former employee, a field inspector on the Thames River Bridge project for Amtrak in 2008, provided Amtrak’s contractor with a falsified diploma for a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Vermont, as well as falsified credentials from the National Institute for Certification in Engineering Technologies.
