The engagement
What the work
can involve.
We tailor the scope to the decision you need to make, the available information and the project stage.
- 01
Establish the facility stage, design objectives, applicable criteria, available knowledge and material uncertainties.
- 02
Scope stability, seepage, deformation, water-management and liquefaction assessments to the facility and available data.
- 03
Prepare or review layouts, sections, embankment and drainage details, specifications and design reports.
- 04
Assess changes to deposition, materials, geometry or operation against the agreed design basis and review process.
Agreeing responsibilities
Design acceptance, construction release and formal sign-off require the agreed professional review and project approval process.
The output
Defined work.
Useful deliverables.
- Design-basis and data-gap register
- Scoped analysis, sensitivity checks and calculation records
- Drawings, specifications and technical review comments
- Design assumptions, limitations and further-work recommendations
What to bring to the first discussion
Survey and as-built surfaces, design reports, material testing, operating plans, monitoring records and the decision to be supported.
You can start with an outline of the information you have. We will agree the document list and transfer method before you send confidential material.
Working together
A scope you can review.
The proposal identifies tasks, deliverables, inputs, dependencies, exclusions and pricing. Open questions remain visible so the next decision is informed.
