Identifying and baselining boulders for underground construction
This paper focuses on identification of boulders during subsurface exploration and on baselining of boulder quantities for construction of underground facilities. Comments are provided on the sensitivity and reliability of conventional and other subsurface exploration methods in identifying boulders based on a literature study and survey sent to exploration drillers. Geologic assessment and documentation of drilling observations are two keys to boulder identification. Boulder quantities may be baselined by utilizing statistical relationships between boulder indications in boreholes and quantities encountered in excavations, experience databases, and probabilistic methods of data evaluation.
