Complex geological surveys at the construction site are carried out to obtain up-to-date information about the topography, bearing capacity of soils and the nature of groundwater, their chemical composition, and corrosiveness.

Also, the totality of these works is aimed at determining the presence of hidden dangerous geological processes: landslides, flooding, karst formations. Based on the results of the survey, a Technical Report is drawn up, which, in addition to describing the conditions, includes:

forecast of possible changes in the geological environment in a specific area;
recommendations for design and construction.

Graphic materials in the form of maps, diagrams, drawings, and graphs are attached to the Technical Report.

List of geological works

The geotechnical survey includes the following work:

Work is carried out in a clear sequence, according to established requirements and SNiP standards. Includes preparatory, field, laboratory and office stages.

Scope of work when updating engineering-geological surveys

The procedure has a more simplified form when you already have the previous Technical Report with expired suitability. To obtain a building permit industrial complexes, multi-storey buildings and linear structures, it is valid for 3 years, for private houses and cottages - up to 10 years. This Technical Report is subject to updating, that is, it does not require research in in full, which, in turn, reduces the time and cost of research. You can order such a service from specialists.

To obtain updated data, geological engineers take samples from control wells, conduct laboratory analyzes and compare the information received. When changes are identified in the geological conditions of the site, or hazardous geological processes are detected, appropriate adjustments are made and recommendations are provided. The new report is sent for examination to regulatory authorities.

Using data from outdated research is fraught with unpredictable consequences:

uneven settlement of the building;
deformation of door and window openings;
formation of cracks and crevices;
destruction of the foundation.

Video: Engineering-geological surveys

Properly organized construction goes through everything preparatory stages construction work. Including all kinds of variations of technical research that are necessary for the competent development of the project. One of the important components is pre-design research. Often, a person who is going to perform such work on a site is interested in the prices for performing this type of service, and here the SBC for engineering and geological surveys 2006 and other reference books will be very helpful.

Using the price guide for engineering and geological surveys

When carrying out engineering-geological activities, the construction area is assessed. Its characteristics, such as the physical and chemical composition of the soil, are studied. The soil is checked for the presence of minerals and other minerals, and its physical and mechanical properties are also studied.

Carrying out this type of work has its own cost, which is indicated in the collection base prices for engineering-geological surveys (SBS).

Collection of basic prices (BCP) for engineering and geological surveys: why is it needed?

A collection of basic prices for engineering-geological surveys is used to determine standard price carrying out engineering work aimed at studying the geology of the development area. It specifies the prices for technical surveys to study the soil, find and use groundwater. These prices then become the standard when drawing up contracts with the survey company.

The most widely used collections are the following years of publication:

SBC for engineering and geological surveys 1999 - intended for systematic use, for the purpose of calculating the cost of work performed for government organizations and private companies.
SBC for geotechnical surveys 2004 - an updated version of the previous edition. Contains more information regarding increased base prices for complex engineering activities.
SBC of engineering and geological surveys in 2006 - is distinguished by the availability of prices for drawing up estimates, taking into account indexation.

The collection of basic prices is intended for use by specialized firms licensed to carry out construction work. These price catalogs are an aid to the formation of normal prices for construction surveys. They combine certain types technical work, making them easier to find and allowing faster processing of the provided data. A complete collection and description of prices for geological surveys was described in the 1999 SBC of Engineering and Geological Surveys.

carrying out route surveys and preliminary studies of the area;
carrying out drilling operations;
research of underground communications;
creation of a sample database based on the soil of the construction area;
study of collected samples in laboratories;
carrying out various works that do not require presence on the construction site (office);
additional work.

When setting prices, the costs for:

transport within the site;
off-site transport;
commencement and termination of construction work;
sampling for chemical analysis;
formation of a procedure for conducting surveys and issuing a report;
other types of auxiliary work.

In the SBC of geotechnical surveys, the cost of the work carried out is calculated based on the salaries of engineers, tariff rates of workers, prices building materials and services provided, depreciation of production. All calculations take into account key costs (product cost).

Also, in the 1999 SBC for geotechnical surveys, prices were calculated taking into account the structure, volume and methodology of field and other work that does not require direct presence at the construction site. All work carried out must meet the standards of government regulations.

Field work is regarded as a business trip, therefore, workers must be paid a certain amount, which is summed up to total cost field work. The cost of office work is calculated solely on the basis of the cost of materials spent on processing the survey data obtained. Subsequently, SBC 99 of engineering and geological surveys underwent minor changes and was republished with additions.

The presence of a price guide for engineering and geological surveys makes it possible to correctly calculate the cost of technical surveys, which helps both customers and contractors when concluding a contract. If you need more information, you can always contact the specialists of GeoGIS LLC.

2. Prices are developed for the following categories of complexity of engineering and geological conditions.

Table 7

Factors

Geomorphological conditions	A site (site) within one geomorphological element. The surface is horizontal, undivided	A site (site) within several geomorphological elements of the same genesis. The surface is inclined, weakly dissected.	A site (site) within several geomorphological elements of different genesis. The surface is highly dissected.
Geological in the field of interaction of buildings and structures with the geological environment	No more than two layers of different lithology, lying horizontally or slightly inclined (slope no more than 0.1). The power is consistent along strike. An insignificant degree of heterogeneity of layers in terms of soil properties, irregularly changing in plan and depth. Rocky soils lie on the surface or are covered by a thin layer of non-rocky soils.	No more than four layers of different lithology, lying obliquely or with pinching out. Power changes naturally. A significant change in the characteristics of soil properties in plan or depth. Rocky soils have an uneven roof and are covered by non-rocky soils.	More than four different lithological layers. The power changes dramatically. Lenticular bedding of layers. A significant degree of heterogeneity in terms of soil properties that vary in plan or depth. Rocky soils have a strongly dissected roof and are covered by non-rocky soils. There are faults of different orders.
Hydrogeological in the field of interaction of buildings and structures with the geological environment	There is no groundwater or there is one consistent horizon of groundwater with a homogeneous chemical composition.	Two or more continuous horizons of groundwater, in some places with a heterogeneous chemical composition or with pressure and containing contamination.	Groundwater horizons are inconsistent in extent and thickness, with heterogeneous chemical composition or various contaminations.

They do not have a significant impact on the choice of design solutions and geotechnical surveys.	They have a significant impact on the choice of design solutions and complicate the production of engineering and geological surveys in terms of increasing their composition and volume of work.

Notes: 1. The category of complexity of engineering-geological conditions should be established based on a combination of factors. If any individual factor belongs to a higher complexity category and is decisive when making major design decisions, then the complexity category should be established by this factor.

I category. - Areas with homogeneous soil cover; soil complexes occupy no more than 15% of the area; swamps, wetlands and saline soils occupy no more than 5% of the area (mainly steppe areas).

II category. - Areas with heterogeneous soil cover; diverse soil-forming rocks, variable vegetation and dissected relief; soil complexes occupy up to 30% of the territory; swamps and wetlands occupy no more than 20% of the area (mainly forest-steppe and steppe areas).

III category. - Areas with very heterogeneous soil cover: the distribution of rocky, pebbly and gravelly soils; swamps, wetlands and saline lands occupy more than 20% of the area (deserts, semi-deserts, dry steppes, forest areas, forest-tundra, tundra, floodplains, floodplains and deltas).

3. Prices for field work take into account the following terrain conditions.

Table 8

	Cross-country ability
I (good)	Weakly dissected or hilly terrain, river valleys and ravines are easily passable. The road network is well developed
II (satisfactory)	Rugged terrain with relative elevations of up to 500 m and slope steepness of up to 20°. Forested flat areas, slightly wetlands. The road network is poorly developed.

Note - The cost of field work carried out in mountainous areas with impassable serrated and rocky ridges and glaciers, pointed peaks, dangerous passes, turbulent mountain rivers, as well as in desert areas with loose sands and dunes, can be determined based on actual costs in prices of the current period.

4. Prices do not take into account and are determined additionally according to the corresponding tables of this Handbook, the costs of drilling wells with a portable drilling kit, digging holes, drilling holes, as well as taking monoliths and samples for analysis of contamination by chemical and bacteriological indicators.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. The Directory of basic prices for engineering-geological and engineering-ecological surveys for construction (hereinafter referred to as the “Directory”) is recommended for determining the base cost of engineering-geological and engineering-ecological surveys, surveys of soil building materials and water supply sources based on groundwater at formation of prices in agreements (contracts).

2. This Handbook is intended for use by enterprises (organizations) of various organizational and legal forms that carry out survey work and have a license to conduct it.

Reconnaissance (route) survey and route observations;

Drilling operations;

Mining works;

Experimental filtration work, field studies of soils and sampling;

Laboratory work and research;

Office work;

Various works and services;

Auxiliary work.

4. Prices are calculated on the basis of official salaries of engineering and technical workers, tariff rates of workers, cost of materials and services, standards depreciation charges for fixed assets as of 01.01.91, taking into account the basic provisions on the composition of costs included in the cost of products (works, services) with amendments and additions provided for by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 01.07.95 No. 661.

Prices for field work are provided for performing this work under expeditionary conditions, i.e. with payment of travel allowances or field allowances to employees.

Prices for desk processing of research materials and laboratory work are provided for performing them in a hospital setting, i.e. without paying employees travel allowances or field allowances.

Primary processing of survey materials, carried out under expeditionary conditions, is taken into account in the prices for field work. The prices also take into account the costs of:

a) receiving terms of reference for carrying out surveys;

b) coordination with the customer of the research program (instructions) and preparation of contractual documentation;

c) preparation, verification of instruments, tools, equipment and metrological assurance of the uniformity and accuracy of measuring instruments;

d) internal control and acceptance of survey materials;

e) delivery of survey reporting materials to the customer.

7. The prices do not take into account and are determined additionally according to the relevant tables (standards) of this Directory and the following costs are provided for in the estimates:

a) internal transport;

b) external transport;

c) organization and liquidation of work at the facility;

d) selection of monoliths, bulk samples and samples for analysis of contamination by chemical and bacteriological indicators;

e) drawing up and agreeing with the customer a research program (instruction), as well as drawing up and issuing a technical report (conclusion) to the customer;

f) preparation and delivery of intermediate engineering survey materials to the customer;

g) various auxiliary works (geotechnical control, radiometric work, geodetic work, etc.);

h) registration of permits (registration) for engineering surveys;

i) land reclamation;

k) installation, dismantling and maintenance (rental) of special survey equipment.

When determining the estimated cost of surveys carried out in other regions of the Russian Federation, as well as during unfavorable periods of the year, the corresponding coefficients are applied to prices:

Table 1

b) when carrying out surveys in desert and waterless areas, the coefficients given in Appendix 1 are applied to the prices for these surveys;

c) when carrying out surveys in territories with a special regime, a coefficient of 1.25 is applied to prices for field work, and in areas with radioactivity more than 1 m 3 per year or 0.1 rem/year - a coefficient of 1.25 to 1.5 depending on the level of radioactivity assessed in accordance with the Radiation Safety Standards NRB-96 (GN 2.6.1.054-96).

Note - Territories with a special regime include areas and areas where, due to the situation or established regime, interruptions or difficulties associated with loss of working time during surveys are inevitable: border areas, testing grounds, airfields, construction sites where blasting operations are carried out, areas with strong air dustiness (construction sites, quarries, etc.), environmentally hazardous areas, internal territories of explosive, hazardous and hot workshops of defense, chemical, metallurgical, coal and mining industries, operating power stations and substations, open switchgears of power stations, strips up to 200 m wide existing power lines with a voltage of 500 kV. and higher. The canvas of railways and highways, main streets (avenues) of cities, the territory of railway stations, ports, etc., where delays and interruptions in work caused by heavy traffic, etc. are inevitable.

d) when performing field survey work during an unfavorable period of the year in the relevant areas (according to Appendix 2), the coefficients given in Table 2 are applied to their cost.

	Regional coefficient to wages	Coefficient to the total estimated cost of surveys

Note - When new regional coefficients for wages are introduced after 01.07.98 by law or by directive, the coefficients for the total estimated cost of surveys are determined in accordance with Table 3.

c) when carrying out surveys by organizations making payments related to the provision of benefits to persons working in the regions of the Far North and equivalent areas (according to Appendix 5), as well as in other areas established by current legislation, the corresponding coefficients are applied to the total estimated cost of surveys :

1.50 - when carrying out surveys in the Far North;

1.25 - the same in areas equated to the regions of the Far North;

1.15 - in the southern regions of the Irkutsk region, Krasnoyarsk region and the Far East (Amur region, Primorsky and Khabarovsk territories), in the Arkhangelsk and Chita regions, the Republics of Buryatia, Karelia, Komi (with the exception of regions of the Far North and areas equated to regions of the Far North North).

Note - When simultaneously applying the coefficients specified in subparagraphs “d” and “f” of paragraph 8, the overall increasing coefficient to the total of the estimated cost of surveys is determined by summing the unit with the fractional parts of the corresponding coefficients of Table 3 and subparagraph “e”.
