The respondents, a professional engineer and a certificate of authorization holder, admitted to professional misconduct regarding the flawed design of cantilevered formwork and falsework for a bridge rehabilitation project in New Brunswick.

An independent expert concluded the design contained serious errors and could have resulted in a collapse.

The Discipline Committee accepted an agreed statement of facts and a joint submission on penalty.

The engineer's licence was suspended for three months and restricted from acting as a supervising engineer, the corporate respondent's certificate was restricted, and the respondents were ordered to pay a $5,000 fine and receive a reprimand.
