Description
You have been tasked to evaluate the risks associated with moving from a traditional
construction method for constructing concrete formwork (such as precast), to an advanced
method that will be designed to take advantage of additive and/or automated and digital
techniques.
Firstly, draw on your engineering background to gain an overview of the current
construction methods and their respective times. Obviously, this information may not be
readily available, therefore, you may be required to make some assumptions – but use your
engineering judgements to make sure these are justified.
Then, select an appropriate advanced / alternative method for your project. It could also
be a future construction method that is yet to be commercialised. Remember, this subject is
about risk engineering, and this report does not require a full technical evaluation.
The next stage will be to implement a risk management process based on the ISO31000
and the content of this course. Some things to think about would include:
● Risks and opportunities
● Hazards
● Safe design principles
● The risk management process
o Risk identification
o Risk analysis
o Risk evaluation
o Risk treatment
o Risk monitoring and review
