THE RRS GLOSSARY
Why it matters to a project
Its scope needs a location plan, depth requirements, access arrangements and an explanation of limitations. It is a separately planned specialist activity, not a generic label for all drilling.
PROJECT EXAMPLE
A project requests a defined investigation scope associated with proposed foundation locations.
A useful distinction
The word intrusive does not itself specify the equipment, coverage or assurance delivered.
Questions to ask when it appears in a scope
- What area, activity and decision does this term refer to?
- What evidence or output will the project team receive?
- What limitations need to be carried into the next stage?
