The engagement
What the work
can involve.
We tailor the scope to the decision you need to make, the available information and the project stage.
- 01
Agree the review scope, required disciplines, independence, site coverage and applicable criteria.
- 02
Review design assumptions, construction and as-built records, material characterisation and changes through the facility lifecycle.
- 03
Examine surveillance, instrumentation, performance trends, incidents and unresolved recommendations.
- 04
Document findings, evidence limitations, further investigations and actions requiring owner decisions.
Agreeing responsibilities
A DSR is a defined professional engagement. Review frequency, required expertise and acceptance arrangements are determined for the facility, not by a generic website rule.
The output
Defined work.
Useful deliverables.
- Review plan and document register
- Site observation and technical assessment records
- DSR report within the agreed professional scope
- Prioritised recommendations and evidence for close-out
What to bring to the first discussion
Previous reviews, design and construction records, inspection reports, instrumentation data, incident records and the owner's required review basis.
You can start with an outline of the information you have. We will agree the document list and transfer method before you send confidential material.
Working together
A scope you can review.
The proposal identifies tasks, deliverables, inputs, dependencies, exclusions and pricing. Open questions remain visible so the next decision is informed.
