Foundations and site works
reviewed against the geotech, not guessed.
Owner’s-engineer AI reviews for oil & gas civil deliverables — foundation design against Eurocode 7 & ACI 318, load-case completeness against the geotech report, drainage & site-grading checks. Traceable findings, comment registers and human-supervised escalation in hours.
What civil deliverables we review.
Full civil discipline coverage rolls out during pilot cohorts as we calibrate against real client deliverables. Below is what’s live today and what’s in the next check-library release.
Foundation load-case completeness
Cross-check calc notes against the geotech factual report — required combinations, allowable bearing pressures, groundwater assumptions, seismic zone, wind base pressure.
Code-clause conformance (Eurocode 7 / ACI 318)
Bearing capacity, settlement, sliding & overturning factors, partial safety factors on actions and resistances — cited to specific clause on every finding.
Cross-document consistency
Foundation drawings vs. calc note vs. schedule of foundations — dimensions, reinforcement, concrete class and cover. Flags divergence with drawing zone reference.
Drainage & site grading
Peak-flow calculations vs. catchment area, oil-water separator sizing, spill containment volume vs. largest tank. Rolling out in autumn 2026 pilots.
Piling design checks
End-bearing & shaft-friction capacity vs. geotech, group efficiency, integrity test coverage against specification. Rolling out with select clients.
What we check against.
Eurocode 7 (EN 1997)
Geotechnical design — foundations & retaining structures
ACI 318
Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete
BS 8110
Structural use of concrete (legacy but still specified)
API 650 App E
Seismic design for storage tank foundations
ASCE 7
Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures
Client geotech spec
Project-specific bearing capacity & settlement criteria
What we do not replace.
SpecSense catches systematic clause-level checks and cross-document consistency — code compliance, load-case completeness, discrepancies between the calc note and the geotech factual report. It does not replace independent design verification, FE modelling of complex foundations, or the engineering judgement on marginal soil-structure interaction cases. Your Chartered civil engineer still owns those calls; we clear the review backlog so they can focus on them.
