Learn about Geophysicists
Geophysicists help answer questions about ground conditions that affect building design, such as how deep competent material lies or whether conditions vary across a site. When considering Cook Costello, match the proposed investigation to the decision the project team needs to make, rather than choosing a method by name.
Geophysicists
For work in New Zealand, define the survey area and the information the design team needs before seeking a scope. This lets a practice such as Cook Costello explain what its investigation can establish and where further testing may be needed. Ask how results will be checked against available borehole or geotechnical information, and who will interpret them for the project.
What should a geophysics proposal cover?
Ask for the survey area, proposed method, investigation depth and report scope. Check that exclusions and access requirements are stated.
How do geophysicists work with geotechnical engineers?
Geophysicists interpret measurements from the ground, while geotechnical engineers assess how ground conditions affect foundations and other design decisions. Confirm who will interpret the findings and how they will inform the engineering advice.
Can geophysical surveys be done on a developed site?
Buildings, paving and buried services can limit access or affect measurements. Provide a site plan and known service information so the consultant can assess suitable methods.
