| Construction of an earthen embankment dam. |
"The responsibility for administering construction and supply contracts, for understanding the design and contract intent, for maintaining technical coordination between design and construction engineers, and for managing the construction staff to assure compliance with specifications should be vested in an identified engineer at the construction project. He should have the administrative and technical control of all resources necessary to accomplish safe construction of the dam. Construction personnel should understand the conditions upon which the design is based and the relationship between these conditions and the design features. When unanticipated conditions are encountered, design personnel should be involved in determining their effect."[1]
