Field Investigations Handbook
Field Investigations Handbook
(OP)
We just hired a new person in our office to help us for field work. I am looking for a field investigation handbook or similar so this guy can use it at the field. He does not have a geotechnical background so something not too technical is preferred. I already have the "Geotechnical Investigations Methods - A Field Guide for Geotechnical Engineers" by Roy Hunt...

Teach them that there is a body of data called, "Fugitive Information" - information that if you don't document it, you'll never get back. Consider the following:
drilling rate
drilling action
zones of water loss (these are usually recorded)
zones of water return (these are rarely recorded)
I could go on, but the observant field hand records this stuff. They have to be taught; however.

OG, sure, someone will stay together at the site with the new guy. He just started so trying to find a small job site for him to start.
Thanks again,
