Site Investigation Strategy
1. Obtain an understanding of the potential geologic and geotechnical conditions of the proposed site by reviewing regional studies. Also, consult with other professionals who have worked in the area to obtain their opinion regarding potential conditions and issues at the site.2. Obtain aerial photography (historical and recent), geologic and soil maps and other sources of subsurface information.3. Obtain drawing of the facilities planned for construction including the foot print of the building, foundation locations, areas of cut and fill, utilities, property lines, etc.4. From this information, develop a first phase of investigation to improve your understanding about key issues and obtain the data necessary to complete preliminary engineering analyses.5. Perform the assessment and calculations of the phase 1 data to understand the sensitivity of the analyses to key soil and groundwater input. The potential range of outcomes should be estimated by varying the key inputs within the possible ranges suggested by the characterization data.
a. Safe or adequate performance expectedb. Unsafe or with inadequate performance likelyc. Unknown condition or performance
6. From the phase 1 assessment, decide if the conditions at the site and the performance of the geosystem falls with the following categories:
7. For case 6a, decided if additional data or analyses are needed, if any, to complete the design. For case 6b, decide what design modification and/or ground improvement is necessary to obtain acceptable performance. In some cases other foundation types and construction methods will need to be used. In a few instances the planned site will have to be abandoned and another location selected. For case 6c, decide what key conditions must be better defined to complete the design and plan a phase II investigation.

Mud rotary drilling is most commonly used to create a stable hole that can then be used
for other purposes, such as to create water wells, or for seismic testing.Slim hole rotary with the rods in compression
As mentioned previously, drilling works by applying downward pressure to a bit to cut
into ground. This method uses the pressure of compressed rods to push down on the bit.
The rods are slightly smaller than the bit and are supported by the hole. When the weight
of the rods becomes greater than the pressure needed on the bit, the driller reverses the
drill pull down to hold the drill string back.
Advantages
This method can be used by all sizes of drill rigs at any angle.
Disadvantages
The holes can deflect easily, and need special drilling techniques and equipment to keep
the hole straight.Single tube reverse circulation
Reverse circulation is used for drilling large diameter holes. Mud is pumped down the
outside of the hole to the bit. A centrifugal pump sucks the fluid and drill cuttings up
inside the drill string, where it is discharged into a large settling pit

a helical or spiral tool form is used to move material from the subsurface to the surface
•
a bit at the bottom cuts into the subsurface material •spiral augers on outside convey the material to the surface while spinning •
AUGER DRILLING
center of auger is hollow like a straw when the inner drive rods and plug are removed
•
during drilling or formation cutting, the center is filled with rods connected to a plug at the bottom bit
•
once the desired drilling depth is reached, the center plug and rods can be pulled out - leaving the hollow augers in place
•
the hollow augers hold the borehole open for sediment sampling and well installation
