Traditional site investigation techniques coupled with normal design processes cannot be regarded as satifactory in view of the increasingly common occurence of clause 12 type claims for “unforeseen ground conditions”. It is suggested that problems commonly arise from improper interpretation of soil data rather than from faulty data per se. It is concluded that, if the traditional design approach is used, due regard must be given to the accuracy of the data employed
