Subject
Engineer T's structural modification design for the existing building
Terminatedby
Not yet terminated; legal proceedings ongoing to determine whether omission constitutes error
Triggeringevent
Engineer T selected a single straightforward design approach without exploring alternatives, and a construction accident subsequently revealed a safer alternative existed
Urgencylevel
high
Source Evidence
Source Text
Engineer T selected a straightforward approach that required making structural connections immediately beneath floor level on an upper floor, in a tightly constrained space
Text References
Engineer T proceeded with the project per these parameters and did not explore alternative design approaches
Engineer T realized that had alternative design concepts been explored early on, the new structural modifications could have been proposed in a fundamentally different, more complex, but functionally equivalent way
Engineer T selected a straightforward approach that required making structural connections immediately beneath floor level on an upper floor, in a tightly constrained space
The alternative approach would have been more costly and taken more time, but it would have allowed the construction workers to make all connections while standing on the floor such that injury would have been far less likely
