The minimum number of laboratory tests to be carried out on a project is suggested in the BS EN :2007 annexes. A desk study is required in the planning of every investigation, but the size and extent of the desk study will vary according to the project and the anticipated ground conditions. Before designing the investigation programme, the available information and documents should be evaluated in a desk study which should also use experience in the same or similar geology from elsewhere.
