i)      Site visits during construction to confirm reported
ground conditions
ii)     Site visits to assist the contractor or other site
personnel in identifying various soil/rock types such as
appropriate footing or pier founding depths, the stability
of a filled or excavated slope; or
iii) Full-time engineering presence on site.
In the vast majority of cases it is advantageous to the
principal for the geotechnical engineer who wrote the
investigation report to be involved in the construction
stage of the project.
The geotechnical engineer cannot take responsibility
for variations in encountered conditions, where he is
not given the opportunity to review plans for the
proposed development with sufficient time to allow
review      and    make      changes         to     the       proposed
development if required, and where he is not given the
opportunity       to   inspect    the       site        and    oversee
construction methods with regard to site conditions
with sufficient time to observe all relevant site
conditions and operations.
RESPONSIBLE USE OF GEOTECHNICAL
INFORMATION
Recommendations in our report are for design
purposes only and provided on the basis that
inspections are carried out to allow finalisation of
opinions and recommendations contained in our
report.
The geotechnical investigation consisting of field and
laboratory testing has been carried out to indicate
typical     conditions    by     indicating        conditions     and
parameters at the specific locations of boreholes/test
pits.     Subsurface conditions are indicated at these
locations only and the inference of conditions between
or away from these locations (interpolation and
extrapolation) involves a certain degree of risk.
Persons inferring such conditions or carrying out such
inferences should do so with a degree of caution and
