Will the structural engineer accept FULL responsibility for defects that later arise in the structure through signing an agreement before work commences?
Basically who carries the can when it all goes t@ts up. ( Beacuse we sure ain't)
On a job at the moment and from what we have seen so far NO expansion joints are specified on reinforced concrete retaining walls.
The longest wall is 24m. We are worried about hair cracks developing.
I have already had a disagreement with the site engineer (young Polish guy) who goes by his drawings. Himself and his two guys have already put the job a day behind within the last week and also caused me personally two hours work along with my men trying in vain yesterday to correct their work.
This has now caused a further slight problem with the job.
Tomorrow my work will be checked (as usual) by the site engineer and he will point out a problem. ( Due mainly to his inability to point out mistakes made earlier by his two guys)
The concrete pour on the base is scheduled for tomorrow (by me) and this will go ahead as planned.
