1-day course
CPD Credit: 6.5 hours, C1
Course Overview
It is normal to expect the soils on your sites to be logged in accordance with the current standards. This course will provide the background to logging materials encountered on site in order that the descriptions are useful, communicable, and accurate.The relevant standards for soil logging are mandatory and so these normative documents are required to be followed.
Programme
Session 1: Background to the Standards
Session 2: Description of coarse soils with a practical session
Session 3: Soil and rock description with a practical session
Session 4: Description of organic soils
Session 5: Discussion of anthropogenic soils
Session 6: Compilation of a field log
Learning Outcomes
Delegates will be equipped with a structure to enable them to go in to the field and describe soils that they come across in a systematic manner that will meet the requirements of the standards.
Who Should Attend?
All engineering design professionals need to know about the standards, whether they are actually carrying out the logging, or specifying or overseeing the works or actually using the results of investigations within their design activities.
