Course Overview

Maintenance budgets are cut on pre-construction soil investigation in good years and paid for in bad ones. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of this strand of engineering and maintenance work rather than to abstract argument. The programme suits teams tackling the engineering and maintenance work discipline together as readily as individuals attending alone. What blocks progress on pre-construction soil investigation is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. The programme is built to be used, and every section of this aspect of engineering and maintenance work it covers ends in something applicable. Where this strand of engineering and maintenance work is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The outcome is a practitioner who can hold a position on pre-construction soil investigation and revise it on evidence. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for the engineering and maintenance work capability survives a hostile question.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Measure maintenance performance on pre-construction soil investigation with indicators that drive behaviour.

02

Distinguish the parts of pre-construction soil investigation that must be standardised from those that require judgement.

03

Assign clear ownership for each element of pre-construction soil investigation across the functions involved.

04

Determine the failure modes of pre-construction soil investigation and the consequence of each.

05

Specify acceptance criteria for work performed on pre-construction soil investigation.

06

Select the maintenance strategy for pre-construction soil investigation — run to failure, preventive, or condition-based — on evidence.

07

Adapt recognised practice on pre-construction soil investigation to local constraints without hollowing it out.

Session 2Keeping pre-construction soil investigation alive after the initial push

  • Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in pre-construction soil investigation.
  • Set out the decisions in pre-construction soil investigation that require sign-off and by whom.
  • Identify where judgement in pre-construction soil investigation is legitimate and where it is not.

02

Pre-construction soil investigation: choosing the right maintenance strategy

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1What condition data on pre-construction soil investigation is telling you early

  • Establish the boundary of pre-construction soil investigation and record what sits outside it.
  • Reduce the variation in how pre-construction soil investigation is carried out between teams.
  • Agree the indicators that will show whether pre-construction soil investigation is improving.
  • Define acceptance criteria for pre-construction soil investigation in advance.

Session 2Investigating the failure on pre-construction soil investigation that keeps returning

  • Collect evidence on the present handling of pre-construction soil investigation before proposing changes.
  • Benchmark the organisation's pre-construction soil investigation against comparable operations.
  • Check that pre-construction soil investigation still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
  • Verify six months later that changes to pre-construction soil investigation have held.
03

Pre-construction soil investigation: failure modes, consequence and criticality

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1How pre-construction soil investigation actually fails, and how much warning you get

  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of pre-construction soil investigation current.
  • Set maintenance indicators for pre-construction soil investigation that reward planning rather than heroics.
  • Review whether pre-construction soil investigation is aligned with the objectives of the asset base.
  • Draft the minimum viable maintenance procedure for pre-construction soil investigation.

Session 2Comparing pre-construction soil investigation with recognised practice

  • Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on pre-construction soil investigation.
  • Investigate repeat failures on pre-construction soil investigation to root cause, not to component.
  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for pre-construction soil investigation.
