Frequently Asked Question - Why is the term ‘adequate site investigation’ used over ‘ground investigation’?

Why is the term ‘adequate site investigation’ used over ‘ground investigation’?

Version 1 of the DoWCoP stated “comprehensive Site Investigation” which was considered too onerous for every site, for example at some sites no investigation would be necessary. However, in other situations more than just a Ground Investigation will be required e.g. Desk Top Study, therefore the steering group suggested the term “adequate Site Investigation” as an appropriate compromise.
