Geologic Preliminary Investigation
Geologic Preliminary Investigation is a type of analysis that is used to evaluate the potential of a certain area or site for development. This type of analysis involves a comprehensive assessment of the environmental characteristics of the site, including soil, water, and adjacent landforms. It is conducted to identify any potential issues associated with the areas geologic and environmental characteristics that might influence the development of the site. The results of this analysis are then used to inform the design process and help guide decisions about the siting, design, and development of the project.

Geologic Preliminary Investigation
A Geologic Preliminary Investigation, otherwise known as a geotechnical investigation, is a process used to assess the ground conditions of a proposed project site. This type of investigation is used in order to gain an understanding of the soil and rock conditions in the area, as well as to identify any potential issues related to the project. It typically involves a combination of field testing, laboratory analysis, and research. Field testing may include soil sampling and geophysical testing, such as seismic surveys and electromagnetic mapping, while laboratory analysis generally specifically looks at soil and rock properties. Research typically includes a review of existing data from previous studies, as well as a review of the local geologic conditions. The final report of a Geologic Preliminary Investigation will be used to inform the planning and design process of a project.
