Ground Engineering Essentials

Planning for Effective Ground Investigations

Course Outline.

The course will look at how understanding the objectives of the investigation and a good specification are key to an adequate and effective ground investigation.

We will consider the aims of the investigation, planning the work, the requirements of the British Standards and second generation Eurocodes and the choice of equipment and techniques.

This one-day course will look at the stages of a well planned and executed ground investigation, the benefits of a collaborative approach and why the understanding of risk, particularly ground related risks, for each project should drive the data required.
