The Challenge
Root Cause Analysis
- Site Constraints: The presence of existing underground infrastructure (sewer manhole) was not compatible with the original anchor stake placement.
- Design Impact: The conflict required reconsideration of the layout to avoid service disruption.
The Solution
Detailed Data Collection and Assessment
The project team conducted extensive field measurements and gathered detailed site data to inform design options. By documenting precise location data and surrounding clearances, the team prepared a basis for a revised plan that would eliminate the conflict.Redesign and Collaboration
After analyzing the field data, Think Power Solutions developed an alternative anchor stake design that preserved safety and functionality. This proposed solution was reviewed with the client to confirm feasibility and alignment with project objectives.Project Management and Coordination
Ongoing communication with PEC and field teams ensured all stakeholders were informed of the issue and the planned resolution. The redesign was integrated into the broader construction plan with minimal impact on the overall schedule and budget.Key Benefits
- Safety Assurance: The final design fully resolved the sewer conflict and prevented utility damage.
- On-Budget Performance: The project remains on track to complete within budget parameters.
- Responsive Problem Solving: Early detection and proactive redesign limited downstream impacts and supported client objectives.
