Really great video and noteworthy too. You touch on bery keys contents eg. Documentation, revisiting site for updates/ revised changes and last but no means lease health and safety on site. Stay safe. Malik from Barbados
Take a set of drawings and mark up with a red pen. Note the weather. Trust me. Good photo guidance. Do follow up inspections. They will know that you mean it. In later situations, when you can not reinspect, they will not know and cut corners. Yes, it's a good comment about speaking up. If someone is injured and, as a responsible professional, you were there and spoke up, you demonstrated that you were proactive. Carbon copy or photo copy with your camera written instructions. Verbal instructions are worth the paper they are written on. Hahaha Good video topic.
@BrendanHasty I am lucky to have been kicked into shape by excellent site management people. Hahaha, they also supported me. One of my RFIs went from the site to the boardroom of AMP, the client. Nobody would write it but me.
@@BrendanHasty you are supporting young engineers who may have their neck on the line from the bs that can come from the corner cutters who hide their mistakes and have years on site.
Brendan as an engineer how to learn to speak clearly and communicate to create impact within few minutes ie which strong effective communicators should be followed or observed in our industry to master this valuable skill ??
practice, try review repeat. listen to how you speak, record your talking. Be more confident in how you speak. Record video of you can. Listen once no video. Then one time no audio no sound and last combine. Communication it a combination of audio and visual ques
Written instructions with cc to their bosses and management puts the wind up most site formen. They don't know how many are involved in getting the fix completed. Trust me, they need all the pressure you can give them. Cracks in high rise are bs site control, inspect and write on paper and photograph.
Yea sometimes you need to turn the screws. Sometimes I need to standover then and watch until it has done, also need once to order an immediate change and repair.
@BrendanHasty if you feel that you are going to stop a concrete pour, do it early enough for them to have time to panic. And achieve the pour even if they are delaid on the day. Hahaha. Missing the pour can have a huge impact on a project, but it must be done if the quality of work is to be maintained and respect is to be kept.
Totally agree, you only need to make the call once and all the rest of the inspection past this point are perfect. If it is not right it is your responsibility to make that call. I like how the Canadian charted engineers have a ring ceremony, it is the symbolise the responsibility engineers have, and to remind them from collapse of the Quebec Bridge, which killed 88 people showing them impact we can have.
@BrendanHasty can I suggest that if a hard action needs to be taken, then in the first 10% of the job after they have started and still building their site culture. Not late in the job when they think you are now being unreasonable. Just my thoughts and methods.

@BrendanHasty I have worked with excellent contractors and subcontractors and clients as well.
Some brilliant people and fun to know.
Yea site inspection can be tough for young structural engineers, I have been intimated on site before and has contractor try and cut many corners.
They are the best ones, and you can learn Soo much
