Information To Assess Right Way Forward • Cause of damage • Would you have surgery without seeing a physician to see what is wrong? • Extent of damage • Job blow out • Expands to become structural • Structural significance of damage • If it will not become unsafe or cause loss leave it • Likely future damage if left – two extremes • If it wont fail in design life leave it • A stich in time • Prognosis if repaired • Some repairs cause more problems than they solve • Life Cycle Cost – Cheap and repetitive vs once off and long life
Client Interview • Ask questions • What does he want in terms of • Overall Life • Aesthetics • Operational interference • Safety • Budget (lowest cost now or long term) • Risk • Consequence of failure (Likelihood comes from survey) • History • Design, construction, operation and maintenance • Inform • Company policy on • Approach to assessment and repair • Liability involved • Risk minimalisation • Confirm in writing*
