Critical Stages of the Works

1. Table 1 of the Technical Memorandum specifies that higher grade TCP and/or more frequent site inspections up to full time may be required at critical stages of the works. Such more frequent site inspections at critical stages are set out in Table 9.1.

1. The RC should notify the AP, RSE and RGE of the commencement date and estimated time for completion of the critical stages of works in sufficient time before commencing the critical stages to ensure that the respective TCPs would perform their supervision roles during the carrying out of the critical stage of works on site.

1. In addition, the AP, RSE, RGE, or RC may determine that certain sections of the works are particularly difficult or risk prone or that the consequences of a non-conformity may be serious. In these cases any party may notify his counterparts that he considers the section of works to be a critical activity and be included in the supervision plan.
