Common misconception:Common misconception:– Triad adds cost to the projectTriad adds cost to the project
Triad front-loads cost for Site Investigation, butTriad front-loads cost for Site Investigation, but– Reduce additional field mobilizationsReduce additional field mobilizations– Minimize reworkMinimize rework– Shorten overall timeline and cost to closure Shorten overall timeline and cost to closure
