The geotechnical report typically includes information such as soil type, depth to bedrock, groundwater levels, and any potential hazards such as landslides, liquefaction, or ground subsidence.
This information helps engineers and architects design appropriate foundations, retaining walls, and other structures that can withstand the site’s conditions. In New Zealand, building consent authorities require a geotechnical report as part of the building consent application process.
The report must be prepared by a suitably qualified and experienced geotechnical engineer or geologist, and it must comply with the relevant standards and guidelines.
Overall, a geotechnical report is an essential component of the building consent process in New Zealand, as it helps to ensure that buildings are constructed safely and can withstand the site’s unique soil and ground conditions.
