Chapter 2 GEOTECHNICAL DESIGN PROCESS<br />

2.2.6 Post Construction Monitoring <strong>and</strong> Verification of Structure Performance<br />

A geotechnical design should not be considered completed upon the completion of the construction<br />

works. The designer should also be involved in post-construction activities such as visual<br />

observation <strong>and</strong> inspection of the structure; gathering <strong>and</strong> analyzing results of instrumentation<br />

monitoring to ensure its long-term performance <strong>and</strong> identified any necessary maintenance work.<br />

Any lesson learned from the design stage to the completion of the construction works should be<br />

adequately documented for future references.<br />
