A geotechnical investigation gathers information about subsurface conditions for a project. It may include borings, sampling, in situ tests, laboratory work, and groundwater observations. The scope is designed around project questions and site access. Findings represent sampled locations and conditions at the time of investigation, so the report explains methods, limitations, and recommendations.
Why it matters for owners
Investigation scope and access affect cost, schedule, and uncertainty. Aligning the program with design decisions helps make the results useful.
