Σύνοψη

Site investigation is the process by which
geological, geotechnical, and other relevant
information which might affect the
construction or performance of a civil
engineering or building project is acquired.
OBJECTS OF SITE INVESTIGATION
The investigation of the site is an
preliminary to the construction of
engineering works and the objects
such investigations are:
essential all civil in making
a. To assess the general suitability of the
site for the proposed works;
b. To enable an adequate and economic design
to be prepared;
c. To foresee and provide against difficulties
that may arise during construction due to
ground and other local conditions;
To investigate the occurrence or causes of
all natural or created changes of
conditions and the results arising
therefrom.
In addition, site investigations are necessary
in reporting upon the safety of existing works
and in investigating cases where failure has
occurred.The scope of the investigation depends upon the
magnitude and nature of the proposed work. In
general the requirements involve:
a. Plans of the site.
b. Collection of general information, e.g. on
access, services, obstructions, ownership,
limitation of user, leases and wayleaves
