Technical Surveillance – Lessons Learned

Summary

This report provides the Crossrail technical surveillance methodology that can be adopted on future projects of this nature. The surveillance process is important as it provides an independent check of on-going works, risk-based sampling of works to ensure its conformance to the works information and relevant specifications and standards.

Summary of lessons learned:

• Surveillances to be based on the project’s weekly look ahead programme as work activities constantly change from the main project schedule.
• In addition to the seven day notification, the surveillance procedure should also make allowances for visiting site with little or no notification.
