Overview
This training course has been carefully developed to provide clarity and confidence to civil and structural engineers when making geotechnical decisions. It gives clear guidance on obtaining good geotechnical data appropriate to your design, understanding the balance between risk, cost and certainty and how to avoid the most common causes of time and cost overruns on your projects. Why Should an Individual Attend?
This short course will teach you how to competently gain the required data, in a timely manner and to a degree which is adequate and appropriate to each stage of design and development. In this way risk and liability are minimised, the potential for economic and safe design is maximised and the project is more likely to be completed on time and within budget. Outcomes

-
Specify the right Ground Investigation
