A Critical Requirement The amount and size of the construction equipment used, the experience of the operators and supervisors, and the decisions by the project management team contributed to the successful completion of Project Yellowhammer, but the integration of effective communication at all levels along the chain of command made it possible. Effective communication is a critical requirement in every successful project. Each project must cultivate a culture of effective communication to benefit clear understanding, team chemistry, trust, and project quality and efficiency. v Michael Yuan is a Geotechnical Engineer in the Stantec Burnaby Geotech team. He acknowledges the contributions of Stantec Project Manager for Project Yellowhammer Jay Mazzoni and Stantec Engineer Field Crew Lead for Project Yellowhammer Tim Morton, P.Eng., to the project.
