Mention engineering geological study with reference to different phases for evaluation of EGS. [2073 Magh][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 main phases of evaluation of EGS and the respective engineering Geological tasks are :


Phase
Task for study
Project definition
  • setting of the problem.
  • development of the project concept.
  • Preliminary information about regional geology, topography and climate.
pre-feasibility
  • Existing topographical maps, Aerial photo etc. observed to get r....
