Course Overview
Maintenance budgets are cut on geotechnical soil and foundation engineering in good years and paid for in bad ones. They leave able to brief senior management on foundation engineering in terms that support a decision. Comparative studies of the engineering and maintenance work capability across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. Discussion is anchored to worked examples of geotechnical soil and foundation engineering rather than to abstract argument. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the practice within engineering and maintenance work and the judgement to adapt it. It is appropriate for those preparing to take on wider responsibility for foundation engineering. Moving geotechnical soil and foundation engineering from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants leave with a first-ninety-days plan for foundation engineering rather than a set of notes.

Course Modules
Geotechnical soil and foundation engineering: failure modes, consequence and criticality
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Getting other functions to support geotechnical soil and foundation engineering
- Rank the weaknesses in geotechnical soil and foundation engineering by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
- Choose the maintenance strategy for foundation engineering based on failure pattern, not tradition.
- Collect evidence on the present handling of geotechnical soil and foundation engineering before proposing changes.
- Investigate repeat failures on foundation engineering to root cause, not to component.
Session 2Isolating foundation engineering safely before work begins
- List the credible failure modes of geotechnical soil and foundation engineering and the consequence of each.
- Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on foundation engineering.
- Draft the minimum viable maintenance procedure for geotechnical soil and foundation engineering.
- Name a single owner for each element of foundation engineering.
Foundation engineering: history, documentation and competence
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Keeping foundation engineering alive after the initial push
- Define acceptance criteria for completed work on geotechnical soil and foundation engineering.
- Build the competence framework that supports foundation engineering.
- Set escalation thresholds for geotechnical soil and foundation engineering that work out of hours.
- Set out the decisions in foundation engineering that require sign-off and by whom.
Session 2How foundation engineering actually fails, and how much warning you get
- Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in geotechnical soil and foundation engineering.
- Build the internal briefing that explains foundation engineering to those affected.
- Check that geotechnical soil and foundation engineering still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
- Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for foundation engineering.
Foundation engineering: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Investigating the failure on foundation engineering that keeps returning
- Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of geotechnical soil and foundation engineering current.
- Set the review interval for foundation engineering and who attends.
- Identify where judgement in geotechnical soil and foundation engineering is legitimate and where it is not.
- Remove steps in foundation engineering that add effort without adding assurance.
Session 2What to measure in geotechnical soil and foundation engineering and what to ignore
- Estimate the resource geotechnical soil and foundation engineering requires to run as designed.
- Identify the data already collected that bears on foundation engineering.
- Define the trigger that would require geotechnical soil and foundation engineering to be redesigned.

Foundation engineering: choosing the right maintenance strategy
2 sessions · 8 pointsSession 1Maintenance indicators for foundation engineering that change behaviour

- Agree the smallest change to foundation engineering that would be visibly useful.
- Record the rationale for each significant choice made about geotechnical soil and foundation engineering.
- Prepare the summary of foundation engineering that senior management will read.
Session 2Planning work on foundation engineering so it does not become reactive
- Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to geotechnical soil and foundation engineering.
- Establish the boundary of foundation engineering and record what sits outside it.
- Set maintenance indicators for geotechnical soil and foundation engineering that reward planning rather than heroics.
- Assign a criticality rating to foundation engineering that drives work order priority.
