Ground Investigation
Ground Investigation is required to determine the engineering properties of soil and rock and how they will interact with planned construction. This includes the determination and sequence of different strata, stability of natural slopes and the position of the groundwater and its fluctuation limits.
Instrumentation is required to identify the various parameters needed for the Geotechnical Engineer’s project design.
