Abstract

The importance of regional-areal investigations for obtaining geosciences data critical to a natural site or material is frequently overlooked. Project sponsors have commonly kept the efforts of the exploration team close to the site for the planning-design phases. This approach has disregarded the importance of much pertinent geological information because sites rarely conform to a “type” interpretation. Actually, an understanding of controlling conditions, history, and causes can prove more advantageous to an engineering objective than more detailed knowledge of a restricted site. Several examples of investigations in which an inadequate understanding of the areal rock sequence/structure subsequently affected project design are given under case histories.
