The survey nobody could find
The new survey is done. The designers are using one from five years ago.
The wrong way
Design office
Alex asks for a survey. Someone finds one in the client's old archive. It's five years old. Nobody checks the date.
Since then
The client has built a car park and raised the access road. The old survey has never heard of either.
Design
Alex designs the levels from it: the inlet, the access ramp, the drainage falls. Beautifully.
DesignDesign: Month four…
On site
The new ramp meets the road 400mm below it.
Rex: Is that meant to be a step?
Redesign
Levels, drainage and kerbs, all redesigned. Alex: "We used the survey we had." Stevie looks at his laptop. "Aye. That one's on me."
The right survey existed. It was on Stevie's laptop.
