 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 ;s 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.

INFORMA TlON

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
