5 Section 3.4 – Unit Metric units is said to be in use but a combination of metric and Noted and implemented
imperial units appear in the unit table. Align both
6 Section 4.2 Pile Since this is a brownfield assessment, pile penetrations are known Noted and implemented
variables and should be assessed for adequacy “as-is” and not re-
designed. The penetrations used should be stated unambiguously
7 Section 4.3 Bridge The boundary conditions applicable for the bridge analysis is Noted and implemented
missing. Detailed drawings for the bridge connections may not
currently be available but it is expected that this should be captured
on site notes.

Allowance of actual wall thickness.

Capacity is local regulation, and we are bound by it
11 7.1.1 Not-To- NTE is only applicable to pile capacity. The capacity of any platform Noted and implemented
Exceed NTE Deck can always be extended to meet the capacity of the pile system.
Max Operating Loads This is simply because, once installed, the capacity of piles can no
longer be extended but other segments of the platform can. Re-
phrase the section to reflect this.
A sensitivity analysis would have to be done to establish the NTE
(based on the pile system)
