Definition

Safety factor findings for 19 piles

Balancing with
Complete Reporting Principle
Concrete expression
Engineer B's report failed to disclose that dynamic test equipment failed during the pile driving test, a material methodological limitation that affected the reliability of the test results and the conclusions drawn from them.
Confidence
0.88
Interpretation
Scope limitation disclosure required Engineer B to identify the equipment failure as a material constraint on the test and to qualify his conclusions accordingly, rather than reporting results as if the test had proceeded without incident.
Tension resolution
Both the scope limitation disclosure obligation and the complete reporting obligation point in the same direction here: the equipment failure was a material fact that had to be disclosed and addressed in the report.

Material facts, however, were not addressed in Engineer B's report. Among them, that dynamic test equipment failed during the test, and that all 19 test piles reported as failing the test were driven to refusal.
