Summary:
Over the last 20 years the City of Cork, Ireland has seen significant private development of offices and retail space which include basements. Conventional geotechnical investigation strategies have proved poor at identifying the hydrogeological parameters which control inflow from the coarse sands and gravels which underlie the city. This short presentation will show how case study dated has been used to develop a conceptual model and provide a design bases for future projects.
