Purpose: Check the foundation at a construction site and give advice on soling.
Issue: Noticed that one of the excavation pits was sliding and getting too close to the service line.
Background: Earlier, I advised the client not to dig too close to the service line. The client ignored this advice and told the contractor to dig for a septic tank.
Action Taken: Emphasized the importance of following professional advice to avoid risks and problems.
Lesson Learned
Professional Integrity: Always stick to your technical advice, no matter what. It’s essential for safety and project success.
Break
Activity: Had a refreshing glass of pineapple juice to recharge after the site visit.
End of Day Reflection
Realization: Recognized the importance of documenting site visits. In a previous project, I had to prove I visited the site.
Action Taken: Sent the client a detailed report of the site visit and my supervision charges. This ensures clarity and avoids future misunderstandings.
Professional Tips
