Te Ao Rangahau Engineering New Zealand hosts this training unit on behalf of Toka Tū Ake The Earthquake Commission, who developed the unit content. This unit is the fifth in a series of five training units designed to be completed in order, providing information and guidance to support Geotechnical specialists. If you have not completed the previous units in the series it is recommended that you do so prior to commencing this unit.

In this training unit, we will explore the more commonly encountered challenging claims to give you the opportunity to apply what you have learnt in the previous units in this programme. 

 

These challenging claims will be broken up into 5 scenarios. These scenarios will ask questions relating to the claim and provide you with some model answers. This scenario will also provide you information on who you would need to discuss the claim with and a real life geotechnical engineering report.

In this unit, we will explore your role as a geotechnical engineer and what you need to consider when assessing an EQCover claim. We will look at how you can prepare for a site assessment, which includes considering how Schedule 3 of the EQC Act may be relevant. We will also review what storm and flood damage is covered by the EQC Act
