Legal Justification

As this is NGN's first project of this nature in a public space it was recognised that NGN needed to utilise an organisation with history and experience in this field to oversee the design, build and subsequent operation of this facility for the duration of the trial whilst also to develop the required safe operating procedures. As being NGN's project partners and having been appointed to design and build this facility, it was always the intention that they would also have control and operation whilst the trial is ongoing. This approach will ensure DNV GL have end to end control of the site, ensuring safe operation and best protect NGNs overall accountability. Any other approach would have significantly increased risk and project continuity
