Engineering competency
The opening paragraph of this chapter gave three significant reasons why those discharging power network construction must be competent for the work undertaken. Within this context, power networks differ from most other activities that underpin modern society - in as much as the impact of any loss of electricity supply, particularly on a large scale, risks an inability of society to function. As such, society has an understandable expectation that those who have responsibility for power networks, including all those concerned with construction, are both competent in discharging the work they undertake and able to show how that competency was achieved. This is one further and salient reason why engineering competency is the vital and essential third pillar, in addition to technology and QMS procedures, in the definition of a construction execution model.
