Suppose you are M-Global field engineer working at construction site of nuclear power plant in Jentsen, Missouri. For the past three weeks, your job has been to examine construction of water-cooling tower, a large cylindrical structure. As consultants to plant's construction firm, you and your M-Global crew were hired to ensure that work proceeds properly and on schedule. As field engineer, you are thought to report any problems in writing to project manager, John Raines, back at St. Louis office. Then he will contact construction firm's office, if essential.
Write a brief memo report to Raines. Take following randomly organized information and present it in clear, well-organized fashion. If you want, add information of own which might fit context.
• Construction is only two days behind schedule, despite the problems which have happened.
• Cement-truck drivers should slow down while driving through site. Other workers complain about excessive dust raised by trucks.
• Three cement pourings for tower wall were delayed an hour each on April 21 because of light rain.
• You just heard from one subcontractor, Allis Wire, Inc., that there will be two-day delay in delivering some steel reinforcing wires which go into concrete walls. That delay will throw off next week's schedule. Last Monday's hard rain and flooding kept everyone home that day.
• It is likely time once again to get all subcontractors together to explain safety at the tower site. Currently, two field hands had bad cuts from machinery.
• Mary Powell, an M-Global safety inspector on crew, cited 12 workers for not wearing their hard hats.
• Though there have not been any major thefts at site, some miscellaneous boards and masonry pieces are missing each day-probably as nearby residents (doing small home projects) think that whatever they determine at site has been discarded. Are additional "No trespassing" signs needed?
