The industry has evolved to become over conservative in order to cope with Geotechnical Uncertainty, and to avoid risk and liability, which leads to unnecessary expenses waiting tax payers money and to more carbon footprint than what would be strictly necessary. Is it possible to change how we work?, or is the industry not interested because it would threat their โ€œway of livingโ€?
