Formalne podstawy i praktyka prowadzenia badań geologiczno-inżynierskich i geotechnicznych w Polsce
Abstract
Formal basis and practice of conducting engineering geological and geotechnical investigations in Poland.
A b s t r a c t. The changing legal conditions for soil investigation are reflected in the practice of their implementation. This, in turn, affects the quality of the investigation results, and ultimately the possibility of obtaining a picture of soil conditions close to reality. Under the current legal framework, three types of soil investigation reports are prepared. It is important to stage their implementation correctly. The amendment to the Construction Law in 2020 may facilitate this, provided that the role of the Geotechnical Opinion in the soil testing process is increased and the proper investor’s supervision over the soil investigations is ensured.
