Decision Question
When dynamic test equipment fails during a comparative pile driving program that forms the evidentiary basis for adverse conclusions about another engineer's work, what disclosure obligation does the reporting engineer bear?
Focus
Engineer B omitted from his report the fact that dynamic test equipment failed during the test pile driving program, despite that failure directly bearing on the reliability of the test data underlying his adverse conclusions about the 19 piles.
Option1
Disclose the equipment failure prominently in the report, explain its potential effect on data reliability, and qualify the adverse conclusions accordingly so that readers can independently assess the weight of the test results
Option2
Note the equipment failure in the technical appendix as a procedural observation without elevating it to the conclusions section, on the basis that the engineer's professional judgment determined it did not affect the structural findings
Option3
Omit the equipment failure from the report on the grounds that the contractual scope of work defined deliverables as test pile results rather than test program conditions, and that the failure was a field contingency managed during execution
Role Label
Engineer B Objective Complete Report Equipment Failure Omission
