Applied to
Test pile driving program and Engineer B's resulting report
Balancing with
Confidentiality of Professional Review
Concrete expression
Engineer A's geotechnical consultant identified procedural irregularities in the test pile driving, including equipment failure and methodological deviations, and disclosed these findings through testimony, enabling the parties to assess the reliability of Engineer B's conclusions.
Confidence
0.85
Interpretation
The geotechnical consultant fulfilled the proactive disclosure obligation by identifying and reporting known risks to the reliability of the test results as soon as they were observed.
Tension resolution
The obligation to disclose known risks to the reliability of technical findings was fulfilled through testimony, consistent with the consultant's role as an independent observer.

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 and that the test piles were not driven to the same depth of penetration that apparently was required for the plug to form in the original piles.
