Installation

Installation Procedures

The realisation of a design during the construction stages often represents the riskiest part of the entire development process. AG is experienced in providing installation procedures to ensure that the assumptions adopted for design are consistent with the as-built situation.  Supervision by the designer during the installation process provides a massive assurance for the finished project, and can lead to improvement of the design processes in the future.  In particular, AG can greatly help the installation engineers translate the geotechnical design assumptions into installation requirements.

 

Offshore Representation

AG frequently provides personnel to witness the installation of foundations and anchors which they have designed.  The primary advantage of having the designer offshore is to verify consistency with design.  This representative will be best equipped to spot deviations and recognise potential problems at an early stage, before they become critical.  Such presence of the designer, who will have ready answers and solutions, significantly reduces the risk of needing to stand-by whilst answers are sought from the beach.
