Geophysical reconnaissance to assess a site affected by shallow opencast mining
Summary The soil conditions at a site have been investigated for housing and associated development. The site has been subjected to irregular shallow opencast mining and backfilled. Maps of the mined areas were required for house layout and foundation design. The results of resistivity, inductive resistivity and seismic surveys have been plotted as contoured maps of the site and compared with observations in trial pits and records of mining activity. There is generally a good correlation between contours of resistivity, seismic velocity of upper layers, and areas shown to be composed of loosely consolidated materials. Areas of potential difficulty were identified, enabling a more cost effective investigation. The development is now under construction.
