Site Investigation

Why site Investigation is necessary ?

• To calculate the loads in the structure

• To investigate the suitability of the site

• To calculate the total cost of the Structure

• To determine the duration of the Construction phase

What is the first stage in Site Investigation ?

• The Desk Study

• The Walk-over survey

• The Ground investigation

• To calculate the budget

The desk top survey is undertaken after the site visit

• True

• False

What is the main purpose of the desk top survey?

• To collect soil samples

• To determine the nature, past use and condition of the site

• To collect data after the visit in the construction site

• To calculate the loads in the Structure

How would you find information for the desk top survey ?

• From the British Geological Survey

• Form the Current Ordnance Survey

• From Aerial Photography

• From All the Above

Desk top Survey can reveal utility services

• True

• False

What is the main purpose of the walk over study ?

• To find the loads in the structure

• To take soil samples

• To confirm information already gathered in desk study

• To take samples from boreholes

Walk over survey can reveal the surface water condition

• True

• False

What is the purpose of the ground investigation ?

• To investigate the suitability of site

• To reveal utility services

• To collect soil samples

• To investigate the accessibility and general topography of the site

With ground investigation we can identify the type of foundations

• True

• False
