Ground Investigation projects are required to provide a detailed and quantitative information. Investigations must be specifically designed for the project and aim to provide the necessary information for design both efficiently and with an appropriate precision. Special field and laboratory testing may be required.

Investigations may require:

• accurate borehole logging to international standards
  
• in situ testing of soil and rocks (CPT, PMT, PBT, density probe and geophysical well-logging)
  
• rock and soil laboratory testing
  
• foundation design
  
• interpretative and or factual and reporting

	The design and control of large scale investigations are a significant area of experience. Projects completed include on shore sites (for highways, bridges and power stations) and offshore (for dredging, harbours, quay walls, pipelines, offloading facilities).
These systems include ship, seabed and jack-up-based systems for rotary drilling, sampling, in situ testing, vibrocore and for hydrographic and geophysical surveys.

Other specialist areas include investigation contracts and claims, hydrological and well pumping studies, industrial site redevelopment and waste management projects for geotechnical aspects of fill liner design.

Designing ground investigations demands an understanding of the parameters that are required, how to measure them and the influence of standard measurement techniques on the values themselves.

The site conditions must be understood so as to plan access and progress. In marine works, seabed conditions, tides, water depths and currents must be taken into account for the periods of working.

Antonio Associates can design and plan investigations in any region be that remote desert or over water.
