Project Specific

7.  Design Complexity

•  The construction was to take place over an existing mine, thus requiring complicated
foundations.

•  The design had to be built in difficult conditions e.g. a hydropower station

8.  Degree of Innovation

•  New generation design

•  Unusual site conditions requiring innovative solutions e.g. large wind forces, chemical nature
of soil and soil contamination

9.  Environmental Impact

•  Contamination e.g. nuclear power station, Incinerator

•  Noise pollution e.g. airports

•  Impact on wildlife e.g. new road through protected area
