RE: Standards for Geotechnical investigation work
I realize that there may be a tendancy of trying to specify a specific program for geotechnical investigation - actually, I have always hated getting these things from prospective clients UNLESS he was well versed in what he wanted.
My suggestion is to sit down and write out a detailed description of the project - from where to where? - type of structure - individual footings for conveyor support or long parallel grade beams --- type of loading to be had --- quirks in performance (how settlement sensitive, etc. ---- nature of structure ----- etc. THEN, get two or three reputable geotechnical firms to submit their program on investgation. Look at their proposals, pick the one that appears to be the most positive, call him in and discuss/negotiate with him any revisions, price, etc. Geotechs usually know the nature of the programs required for study better than the clients - at least from the point of view of providing the necessary information that the client's designers will need to put out tender drawings and specifications.
I am sure our good mates will add to this.
Best regards.

No ramble is a ramble in these threads which points out case histories (the best to learn from is what experiences others have had)! You keep on rambling - ramblingman!!
Best to all!

For example: If one of the consultants had thought the project area is primarily underlain by gravels, cobbles and boulders then Becker Hammer testing might provide a more cost effective site investigation than auger drilling/SPT testing.
Best of luck
