  • What kind of work is included in a ground investigation contract?

    Ground investigation contracts cover borehole drilling, trial pitting, geotechnical and geo-environmental testing, and reporting on ground conditions. Some also include groundwater and ground gas monitoring or contamination assessment.

  • How are ground investigation contracts procured?

    Ground investigation contracts are let as standalone tenders or as call-offs under civil engineering and construction frameworks. Some are procured as an early phase of a larger infrastructure project before the main works contract is tendered.

    Ground investigation notices carry 45111250 (Ground investigation work), 71351500 (Ground investigation services) and 45120000 (Test drilling and boring work).
