  • 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.
