Like the measurement version of the Infrastructure Condition of Contract, the Ground Investigation Version is based on the traditional pattern of an investigation designed by a Engineer and carried out by a Specialist Contractor.
These Conditions are intended for the situration where the Employer wishes to develop a site and has geotechnical specialists to advise him and who will carry out any initial desk study, identify the geotechnical requirements of the project and design a ground investigation to suit those requirements.
The Investigation may include all or some of the following:
• Site operations including drilling, digging pits, surveys etc.
• Ancillary Works, being permanent items left behind, e.g. piezometers.
• Laboratory Testing
• Reporting requirements
The extent of these will vary depending on the needs of individual projects and whether the purpose is for feasibility study of a full design investigation.
This new document maintains the concepts set down in the ICE Conditions of Contract Ground Investigation Version, first published in 1983 and updated in 2003.
