Abstrait:

Responsible clients and designers commission an independent check of their designs, particularly when the scale or complexity of the project requires it. This paper explores the culture of independent checking that exists in the UK, especially in connection with major bridges, and examines the benefits to be gained from such an approach. The cost of adding confidence and reducing risk through such a check is very small compared to the enormous benefits gained, particularly on major projects.

The author draws on his own experience as well as published information to illustrate the importance of establishing such a culture of independent checking everywhere.
