Services Search
• A services search should be carried out prior to any construction works to
identify likely positions of all underground services and utilities to avoid
damage.
– Buried services may involve;
• Gas pipes,
• Power cables,
• Fiber optic cables, Telephone cables, cable TV lines,
• Utility pipes,
• Drainage lines, Other land drainage trenches and pipes,
• Any other services (eg. CCTV lines, street lighting power cables etc)
– Available maps may be obtained from the utility companies,
geophysical surveys and intrusive surveys (inspection pits and
trenches) may be carried out to prove and mark out the locations of
any services.
Site Visit (Site Walkover Survey)
• Prior to carrying out a site visit is usually a brief desk study
using available maps and geological records.
– Survey or street maps, geological maps, historical borehole records.
– Know where you are going, plan a walking route, check any features
on map and try to prove or observe any features on site.
– Take a lot of photos and mark their positions by GPS or sketch on map.
• The following are some of the important outcomes of a site
visit.
– Superficial characteristics of the ground (hardstanding, concrete cover,
manholes and drainage locations, utility locations, services locations)
– Access locations, assessment on the need for traffic management, site
security.
– Surface features such as sloping ground, erosion, ponded/standing
water, invasive plants, ground contamination.

Ecology Survey
• Ecology surveys are required for all sites unless it is proven by
inspection or with previous reports that the existing habitat at
the site is not going to be affected significantly by the planned
development.
• At sites where it is suspected that there are protected plant
and/or animal species, long periods of monitoring,
observation and measurements may be required to identify
plans for preserving these during and after any construction
works (including ground investigations).
• Actions for preservation may involve from simply netting and
protecting these species from entering to the site of
development to moving them to a new site.
Ecology Survey
– Shallow investigations.
– Deep investigations.
Shallow Investigations
• Observation pits and trenches; for proving the location and
depth of buried services.
– EN 1997-2
– EN ISO 22475-1
– EN ISO 22475-2
– EN ISO 22475-3
Design of Ground Investigation
• Design of a ground investigation requires the following;
– Type of development.
• Road construction, slope stabilisation, underpinning of an existing building , tunneling,
skyscraper.
• The type of development will determine whether an extensive but shallow exploration
or concentrated and deep exploration or a little bit of both is needed.
Design of Ground Investigation
• Minimum depth of boring and approximate spacing.
Reporting
• The following reports are normally expected to be delivered;
– Geoenvironmental Desk Study Report (including site visit records, by
Engineering Geologist or Geotechnical Engineer).
– Ecology Survey Report (by Ecologist).
– Factual Ground Investigation Report (by the Ground Investigation
Contractor).
– Ground Investigation Report (interpretative report on ground model and
a summary of cautious estimate of geotechnical parameters, by
Geotechnical Engineer, preferably Geotechnical Designer).
– Geotechnical Design Report (live report to be updated as the project
progresses, by the Geotechnical Designer).
