Online Ground Investigation Training 

Pre-requisites

regards to planning investigations, reporting, and deriving characteristic values for design.
Practical tutorials show delegates how to scope an investigation and obtain parameters
from it to Eurocode 7.

Aims and objectives

On completion, delegates will have a sound knowledge of the principles of Eurocode 7
Part 2 and be able to apply them when planning ground investigation and deriving
characteristic values for design.
