Publisher's Synopsis
This guide outlines the background, purpose and process of developing a geotechnical baseline report (GBR). A GBR forms the basis of dealing with uncertainty in below-ground conditions for construction projects. The guide should assist in the development of equitable contract terms between client and consultant/contractor across a range of procurement scenarios and infrastructure types, with a view that the GBR provides a common understanding of what is known - and indeed not known - at various stages of the contract life cycle. The guide has been developed with a cross-section of industry expertise and has drawn extensively on experience from outside the UK.
