The Information Gathering for Professional

Engineering Work

1. Collect and process information relevant to the objective site.

2. Above ground information at and surrounding the site – surface

topography, drainage patterns, road and transportation

characteristics, sewerage trunk mains, water supply mains, power

and telecommunications availability etc.

3. Subsurface information (usually limited to within the site) –

immediate subsurface soil characteristics, ground water and

bedrock elevation and characteristics.
