Case Study

Ground Investigation Report, Cornwall

A Ground Investigation Report, fulfilling the requirements set out in BS EN 1997-2: Ground Investigation & Testing, was produced for an extension to a school in Dorset. The Ground Investigation Report (GIR) presented a factual record of the ground and groundwater conditions encountered, together with the laboratory testingresults, followed by a review of the ground profile and geotechnical parameters for foundation design. The Ground Investigation Report was issued promptly, shortly after the receipt of the laboratory testing results, less than three weeks after the completion of siteworks. Interim parameters for design were provided prior to the receipt of the laboratory testing results, based on field observations and in-situ testing results.
