This talk will be an introduction to the drilling equipment available for ground practitioners to undertake ground investigations. The talk will also highlight that not every technique is perfect for every site and that a combination of techniques is generally beneficial to get the most ground information from the site. It is a chance to see some of the more innovative techniques available to undertake ground investigations, such as Supacats, cut-down cable rigs, front mast of window sample rigs and slope-climbing rigs.
According to Arup, ground-related problems typically account for 33โ50% of construction programme overruns. The average cost of these delays far exceeds the original sums expended on site investigation, a mere 0.1% of overall project costs. This talk will be of interest to the construction industry, developers, graduate structural engineers, graduate consulting engineers and students, young and old.
Speaker: Eric Downey

He was part of the technical estimating department and has prepared and delivered a wide variety of competitive tenders to meet client expectations up to ยฃ12 million.
Moderator: Jim Southern
