Definition
Engineer B was obligated to replicate original pile driving conditions as closely as practicable in the test pile program, and to disclose any deviations that could affect the comparability of results.

Case context
Engineer B supervised test pile driving using a vibratory hammer not used in the original driving, did not replicate the required depth of penetration, and allowed pre-record hammer drops that likely broke the pile bond, undermining the validity of the test results.
Compliance status
unmet
Confidence
0.91
Obligation statement
Engineer B was obligated to replicate original pile driving conditions as closely as practicable in the test pile program, and to disclose any deviations that could affect the comparability of results.

Text references
After the 30 day set up, the driving hammer was dropped several times to start the hammer before the record of blow counts commenced. In the opinion of Engineer A's geotechnical consultant, this would have broken the pile bond and undervalued the skin friction value reported by Engineer B's tests.
Driving conditions were not duplicated in driving the test piles in that a vibratory hammer was used for the test piles and not used in the original driving.
