Getting it Right – Ground Investigation
- Online course for scoping and specifying ground investigations effectively.
- Emphasis on practical, cost-effective solutions to minimize geotechnical risks.
- Interactive training with case studies and workshops using real data.
- Target audience includes engineers, geologists, project managers, and clients.
- Delegates will learn to identify risks, scope investigations, and undertake desk studies.
Overview
The Online Ground Investigation Training course aims to equip participants with the skills to effectively plan and specify ground investigations for construction projects. Emphasizing practical and cost-effective solutions, the course covers identifying geotechnical risks, maximizing information from investigations, and developing investigation strategies. Targeted at civil engineers, geologists, project managers, and clients, the training includes sessions on geomaterials, investigation techniques, and designing investigations. Participants will learn to recognize risks, conduct desk studies, select investigation techniques, and implement a staged investigation approach.
Who should attend
Civil and structural engineers, graduate geotechnical engineers and geologists, project managers, clients and client advisors.
Course Content
This one day training course will give you the confidence to scope and specify the right ground investigation for your project.
At the conclusion of this training you will be able to:
- Specify the right Ground Investigation
- Ensure you get the maximum geotechnical information from the investigation
- Identify the main geotechnical risks
Emphasis is placed on practical and cost-effective solutions to minimise geotechnical risk, provide key information and forewarn of potential problems.
The importance of desk study information is discussed as a means of allowing potential problems to be identified prior to fieldwork and the conceptual ground model is then proposed from which key issues can be assessed and an investigation strategy developed. The need for thorough planning of investigations is discussed and the available investigation techniques outlined and their relative merits and limitations assessed.
Highly interactive, this training course includes reference to case studies and workshops using real data to highlight key issues and develop a hands-on understanding of this crucial, but often misunderstood aspect of construction
Session 1 – Basic geomaterials
Session 2 – Site investigation techniques
Session 3 – Designing a site investigation
Session 4 – Workshop
Who Should Attend:
This course has been specifically developed for those who are involved in specifying or using site investigation information, including but not limited to:
- Civil and structural engineers
- Graduate geotechnical engineers and geologists
- Project managers
- Clients and client advisors
At the end of this training course, delegates should know:
- How to identify the risks associated with inadequate or inappropriate site investigation
- How to scope an investigation to obtain maximum geotechnical information and to minimise geotechnical risk
- How to undertake a thorough desk top study
- Where to look for available information as part of a ground investigation
- The strengths and weaknesses of a wide range of site investigation techniques
- The usefulness of a staged investigation approach
