ground conditions
ii)     Site visits to assist the contractor or other 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
INFORMA TlON
Recommendations            in our          report        are for design
purposes       only and        provided           on the           basis that
inspections are carried out to allow finalisalion 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
