An independent geotechnical consultant was retained by Engineer A to observe the test
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
The geotechnical consultant testified and showed that dynamic test equipment had failed during the test
