Visitors to the site
There were few casual visitors to the site, which is of no special interest to tourists. However, there were a few onlookers who observed the site from safe points established by the contractor. Besides students, there were visiting members of the contractor team such as off-site supervisors, engineers, and other supervisors. Day laborers comprised the bulk of the people entering the construction areas. DeMatteis/Turner is the contracting company, and they maintain strict safety standards. Because of the historic and high visibility of their work, the company is careful to ensure visitor safety, and make all feel welcome. The project has as much transparency as possible for one of this scale and scope.
Tests/Inspections
One of the most important inspections performed on the construction site was related to fire and emergency safety. The fire department (FDNY) repeatedly visits the site to ensure that engineering and architectural specs meet city safety standards for emergency evacuations. Because of the scale of the project, and the number of residents expected, it is important to maintain as many exit corridors as possible. The on-site project manager explained some of the other safety and quality inspections that are carried out regularly, especially those on concrete integrity and electrical wiring. The chief architect comes once per month to ensure design specifications are being met. The project is...

Building Materials If one is going to build a home or a business, one needs good materials with which to construct those dwellings. However, most of the materials that are used in construction projects in Iran are far from meeting international standards (Babai, 2011). They are of a low quality, and they do not hold up in the way that they would if high quality materials had been used. Many of

This would help to cut costs, and was seen as a significant problem as evidenced by the table on page 2. Another important issue was the consequences of using construction material that is substandard, meaning that the materials may be more difficult to work with and they not be as reliable and durable. Most individuals did not want to use these products, but there are often no other choices.
In addition, Sound Transit has installed eight sensing devices for the building, including probes that would register any soil shifting at the tunnel depth. Such alerts would allow Sound Transit time to apply extra grout between the tunnel and the apartment building's basement. 6. Output Analysis and Discussion Here, Sound Transit has taken reasonable and economically feasible precautions to reduce the risk of damage from soil sliding. At this point, the remaining
