Engineering Geological Mapping

Engineering Geological Mapping is the process of creating detailed maps that show the distribution of geological materials and structures in an area, specifically for engineering purposes. This includes identifying soil types, rock layers, faults, and groundwater. Such maps help engineers assess the suitability of a site for construction projects, ensuring safety and stability. By understanding the geological conditions, planners can make informed decisions about design, materials, and construction methods, ultimately leading to more efficient and secure infrastructure development.
