THE RRS GLOSSARY
Why it matters to a project
The relevant UXO advice needs to follow the actual piling proposals. Changes to pile locations, methods or depths may change the basis on which earlier advice was given.
PROJECT EXAMPLE
A contractor provides the latest foundation layout before the UXO support scope is agreed.
A useful distinction
Piling support should not be assumed to be identical to excavation watching brief coverage.
Questions to ask when it appears in a scope
- What area, activity and decision does this term refer to?
- What evidence or output will the project team receive?
- What limitations need to be carried into the next stage?
