Applied to
100-year storm surge elevation design standard recommendation
Hydrodynamic modeling and coastal risk assessment engagement
Balancing with
Client cost preferences
Concrete expression
Engineer A applied specialized technical competence in hydrodynamic modeling and coastal risk assessment — including newly released data and a recently developed algorithm — to identify and quantify the public safety risk from storm surge, and acted on that assessment by recommending the 100-year storm surge elevation standard
Confidence
0.9
Importance
high
Interpretation
In this context, professional competence requires Engineer A to apply the most current available technical tools and data to the risk assessment, to quantify the risk with sufficient specificity to support a design standard recommendation, and to communicate that recommendation clearly to the client
Invoked by
Engineer A Present Case Coastal Risk Assessment
Tension resolution
Professional competence in risk assessment is not subject to client cost override; Engineer A must apply full technical competence to the risk assessment regardless of the cost implications of the resulting recommendation
Source Evidence
Source text
Engineer A is retained by Client A, a developer, to perform hydrodynamic modeling and coastal risk assessment in connection with potential climate change and sea level rise for a residential development project near a coastal area
Text references
Based on newly released information as well as a recently developed algorithm that includes newly identified historic weather data, Engineer A believes the residential development project should be built to a 100-year projected storm surge elevation
