What is the difference between geotechnical soil boring and environmental soil boring?

∙ 13y ago
Geotechnical soil borings are used to determine the subsurface material lithology of the area being tested. Complete boring samples are analyzed by a laboratory to ensure the precision of the lithology. This is generally used by engineers to identify subsurface factors, such as compaction, impervious layers, bedrock, karst features, etc., when planning developmental projects.
Environmental soil borings are used to identify and delineate environmental impacts to subsurface materials and groundwater. Grab samples are generally collected from the borings and submitted for laboratory analysis to measure any detectable concentrations of contaminants of concern. Lithology is generally identified only by basic field observation and used to determine how it may affect the characteristics of any identified impaction.
