From page 42...
... 42 Up to this point in the guidelines, the focus has been on preparing to manage geotechnical and subsurface risks. This chapter provides guidance on the practices for monitoring geotechnical risks after the DB contract has been awarded and during construction.
From page 43...
... Geotechnical Risk Monitoring, Control, and Retirement 43 5. Extract the geotechnical/subsurface risks from the register and assemble the appropriate members of both the design–builder's and the agency's project delivery teams to conduct a separate assessment for those features of work with geotechnical/subsurface aspects.
From page 44...
... 44 Guidelines for Managing Geotechnical Risks in Design–Build Projects agency to build the geotechnical risk mitigation actions into the design process itself, leveraging the design–builder's staff with that of the agency to minimize subsurface uncertainties before construction starts. 6.1.3 Translating Risks to Early Mitigation Actions Completing a specific geotechnical/subsurface risk analysis provides the information necessary to begin mitigating risks at the earliest opportunity.
From page 45...
... Geotechnical Risk Monitoring, Control, and Retirement 45 if not realized can be released for other purposes. In keeping with Risk Mitigation Strategy 3, one way to monitor effectively geotechnical risks is to put them on the schedule.
From page 46...
... 46 Guidelines for Managing Geotechnical Risks in Design–Build Projects The dates shown in Figure 6.3 come from the design–builder's schedule. For example, the first day that excavation commences would correlate to the exposure dates for Risks 1, 2, and 4 shown in Figure 6.1.
