Active period
From initial pile driving through mediation and test pile program
Affected parties
Contractor
Engineer A
Municipality
Public users of the dock
Confidence

Principle Transformation
Transforms general objectivity principles into specific obligations to disclose record disputes and seek verification before issuing conclusions that depend on the acceptance or rejection of contested records.
Subject
Engineer A's awareness of potential pile adequacy concerns prior to and during litigation
Terminated by
Test pile program confirmed set-up strength gain, though dispute about 19 piles remained
Triggering event
Pile driving records showed many piles did not meet initial driving resistance requirements, creating an unresolved question about long-term load capacity

Text references
Engineer A testified that the geotechnical firm's report expected that the piles would gain sufficient additional strength within 30 days to meet driving resistance requirements.
One expert testified that the pile driving records indicated that many of the piles did not, at the time of initial driving, meet driving resistance sufficient to satisfy the load carrying requirements of the design calculations.
