Principle Transformation
Transforms the general duty of truthfulness and objectivity into a specific obligation to disclose known test deficiencies and qualify any conclusions that depend on data generated under those deficient conditions.
Subject
Test pile driving program supervised by Engineer B
Terminated by
Not resolved within the case facts presented; Engineer B's report did not disclose the equipment failure
Triggering event
Dynamic test equipment failed during the test pile program and procedural deviations occurred, including use of a vibratory hammer not used in original driving and pre-record hammer drops that would have broken pile bond

After the 30 day set up, the driving hammer was dropped several times to start the hammer before the record of blow counts commenced
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
Engineer B did not report that the dynamic test equipment had failed
The geotechnical consultant testified and showed that dynamic test equipment had failed during the test
Source text
Engineer B did not report that the dynamic test equipment had failed
