Geotechnical characterisation
Understanding Ground Conditions
Ground conditions are rarely uniform and never fully known before work begins. The information available at the planning stage — borehole logs, laboratory test results, historical data — describes the ground at discrete points and specific moments. What lies between those points, and how the ground will respond when it is disturbed, is a question that investigation can narrow but not eliminate.
Geotechnical Risk
Geotechnical risk is the consequence of that gap. It is not the presence of difficult ground — difficult ground can be designed for. It is the distance between what was assumed and what the ground actually does under changed conditions, and the decisions that were made in that gap without adequate understanding of what was at stake."
