Write main tasks for EGS in detailed design phase of civil engineering projects. [2072 Ashwin][3]

Engineering geological studies have to be performed in different phases of any civil engineering projects.For avoiding unnecessary and excessive investment of time and moneyin order to get the required geotechnical information,Engineering geological studies are done systematically in the following phases:
  • Project definition,
  • Feasibility,
  • Design,
  • Construction,
  • Maintenance
  • The respective engineering Geological tasksĀ  in detail design phase are :

    • Detail engineering geological mapping of selected sites.
    • Rock studies nad mapping of selected sites for stability analysis and design of the support system.
    • detail surface and subsurface exploration.
    • In-site as well as laboratory tests.
