Additional Evidence of Underpinning Knowledge & Understanding

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
I have received the following questions to provide the additional evidence of underpinning knowledge & understanding.
1. Describe the situation in which you were allocated responsibility for technical/ engineering decisions

2. Describe how you presented technical information e.g. plans and diagrams for review by other engineers in your field

3. Explain how you carried out a technical investigation, including the gathering of data, identification of sources; and  explain the results of the investigation and how you ensured the quality of data that was used

4. Describe how you derived and presented the results of your investigations: for instance, describe how you used calculations, simulations, prototypes and/or engineering software to guide your technical/ engineering decisions. Explain the limitations of the techniques you used

5. Give a brief reasoned justification for your technical/ engineering decisions

6. Summarise the outcome of the project(s) and indicate how technological changes would affect your methods and/or decisions


Now my confusion is...

a.  I am working as Central Workshop Manager in a construction company, I'm in a dilemma to prepare the evidence as it is not clear to me whether asking about a particular incident related to a equipment in a construction project or the engineering involved during planning, execution, estimation, installation, maintenance and management of total equipment in a construction project. 

b. Question number 3 to 6 is very close to a incident/accident investigation for a particular equipment


If I provide the evidence in (b) way, it will be very specific but a very little scope of engineering. Whether in (a) way I can provide an comprehensive engineering evidence since equipment planning, selection, installation, maintenance and management in a construction project.


Please advise.

    Mr. Roy,

    Appreciate your reply.

    It's a fact that I still could not be able to get in touch with any PRA. I'm looking someone who has similar background of handling wide range of construction equipment like me. Out of my 16 years service life, last 12  years I'm managing (planning, operation, maintenance, installation and critical trouble shooting) 3500+ fleet of construction equipment out of which 30 types of construction equipment, 50+ brand, 300+ model in a 9 million sq-ft workshop which consists of 25000+ man power. You know equipment is the backbone of construction project. I'm involved now in 4 mega projects of a total value of 2 Billion USD.

    So, in every projects there is my large contribution in strategic planning, selection of equipment with proper specification, market research and preparing technical report before purchasing of any equipment, establishing preventive & corrective maintenance methodology and implementation, preparing technical submission, drawing for installation of cranes etc etc. Modifying and upgrading equipment consulting with manufacturer as per project's need.

    So, all are not the routine job. Definitely I'm not involved in design and not like the research scholars but practicing engineering as per BS-7121, ASME B30.3, LOLER, PUWER, ISO 9001, 14001,45001  standards and codes.

    So somewhere I could not be able to relate the questions and up to what extend it would be sufficient reply/answer is not clear to me.

     I would prefer to get in direct conversation with some expert from my own field.

    Thank you for your advise.
