The reason for a high percentage of budget over runs on many construction related project
s is due to inadequate ground investigation. There are many unforeseen hazards in the ground that can be identified by a well designed ground investigation. A relatively small amount of investment at the outset of a project can provide large savings in the long term. Protection of the environment has become increasingly important with the development of brownfield sites and as a result of change in legislation and increased public awareness. Ground investigation provides a means of establishing levels and extent of contamination in the ground and enables risk assessment to be undertaken with regards to risk to human health and the environment. Information can also be gathered to establish the cost implications and estimates for remediating sites.
