Ground Investigation Supervision and Detailed Logging (Soil and Rock)
Ground Investigation (GI) supervision is a critical process in environmental and geotechnical assessments, ensuring that ground investigations are carried out safely, accurately, and in compliance with regulatory standards. It involves overseeing the drilling, sampling, and testing activities performed to assess soil, rock, groundwater, and contamination conditions. It also ensures all activities meet health, safety and environment requirements.
Because ground conditions can be unpredictable, GI supervision allows for immediate adjustments in investigation techniques. For example, if contamination is found, supervisors can modify the investigation plan to collect more relevant data. This reduces the risk of costly return to site for additional GI work and the subsequent delays in project timelines.
Supervision of GI works should be carried out by suitably qualified and experienced engineers, who are also able to undertake detailed logging. Soil and rock logging is the systematic description and classification of subsurface materials encountered during ground investigations. Accurate logging is vital, as it provides a detailed record of soil and rock types, structure and conditions, that helps engineers to understand how the ground will behave under different loads and stresses. It also helps determine the presence and extent of any contamination encountered during the GI works.
At Wema Geoenvironmental Ltd, we have several years’ worth of experience in GI supervision and detailed logging. If you require an engineer to supervise your GI works, and a logging engineer, contact us.
We will be happy to assist you meet your project objectives.
