Dear all.
How do i know whether to schedule a BRE test for pyritic or non pyritic soils. Ill only know that once i have results. this is just afer the sampling form a borehole. I m assessing for groundwater aggresivity and the lab is asking for either one of the two suites.

Would it be by location? certain clays/sands are commonly more pyrtic than others?

Thank you

Ash
