Digest 322 Site investigation for low-rise building: procurement
Publication Year
1987
Document Status

Abstract
Site investigation must be carefully procured if reliable results are to be obtained. It should provide information on local site features and, in particular, ground conditions to ensure that safe structures are built economically. The usefulness and reliability of site investigation data depend very much on how well the site investigation work is planned and carried out. This digest discusses the value of site investigation and the steps that should be involved, and provides guidance on contractual methods.
