Assignment Brief -

Scope - You have been asked to prepare a report that covers: key methods and techniques for earthworks and substructure activities; a safety plan with a risk assessment and method statements for a defined civil engineering activity; a civil engineering problem and its proposed solution; and a design proposal for a new infrastructure project.

The solution of the identified and clearly defined problem in civil engineering should be explored firstly, through considering different potential solutions` options that may be available.

The construction and infrastructure project scenario provided below can be used as a Case study/Example for the whole scope of the work, or for the new work, the infrastructure project under consideration.
