• Andrea Stauber: She was instrumental in understanding our delay analysis, the technical experts, and being our liaison between the client. She was instrumental in providing timely witness statements to us to progress our analysis and being the lynchpin in our questions to the client’s engineering team. She worked diligently and many times, very late, to get us the information we required. Her engineering and technical knowledge was demonstrated by her ability to quickly analyze and understand very complex and detailed delays, defects, and issues encountered on the project. She led the London team with great precision. Her ability to understand detailed engineering and extremely technical opinions was remarkable, and it was outstanding to see her work ethic and product. Lucy Pearson should also be recognized. She is well organized, quickly responds to emails, greatly assisted in the delivery of witness statements, expert reviews, and document control. She managed multiple technical, delay, and quantum experts and the coordination and flow of information between them, us, and the client. For such a complex project with multiple technical experts, her work was impressive. The ability to coordinate and understand the report and issues and relay information helped us progress our report in a timely manner. She managed the document controls, submittals, and transfer of information, which was essential on short deadlines. She coordinated many meetings and put in long hours working with the team to meet the client’s needs. She was very astute in technical and engineering issues and aspects of this project. She was always professional and had a positive attitude even under tight and stressful deadlines/situations. She was always extremely prepared, articulate, and extremely knowledgeable. In addition, she is on the SCL board and is very dedicated and involved in professional organizations.
