Imagine you are a geotechnical engineer, a. what factors are more important to consider when it comes to determining the required number, spacing, and depth of exploratory borings? b. imagine you have to propose a boring plan for a commercial site with the following specification, a 7-story building (considered heavyweight building) with a foundation depth of 1 meter on average subsurface condition. The total built-over area is 2500 square meters. Propose the number of boreholes and their minimum depth.

Measuring site work, Excavation and Piling

Bid drawings typically include very little material about the precise requirements of site work operations, measuring site work and excavation work differs from measuring most other works on a construction project. The actual site work conditions are not provided and also the dimensions of the excavations are not known during the pre-construction phase. The precise measurement of the excavation and backfill of the earth material and topsoil is important for a contractor to decide upon the total cost required for the process. All the works should be carried out under OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards to ensure the safety of the workers.
