Abstract
Ground represents the greatest hazard to any construction project. It has been widely recognised by the UK geotechnical community that the proportion of project funding spent on, and time allowed for, investigating ground hazards is generally inadequate. Aims to better inform building and construction professionals who commission ground investigations, especially clients and their advisers who do not themselves have geotechnical qualifications and experience, and raise awareness of the importance of ground investigation for routine projects. Also provides a summary of best practice.
