What it tells the engineer
Geological work explains the ground a project sits on: terrain and slope mapping, rock mass and discontinuity mapping, kinematic and rock slope stability checks, geohazard assessment, and interpretative reports that tie the field and laboratory data into design parameters.
When it is used
Hillside and highland development, cut slopes and quarries, slope failures and forensic studies, dam and reservoir sites, and authority submissions that need a geological or geotechnical report.

Questions
Who signs the reports?
Reports are prepared and endorsed by a registered professional geologist or engineer as the submission requires.
