Dolomite Sinkhole Geotechnical Survey
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need a focused geotechnical survey to determine how susceptible a small parcel of dolomite-hosted ground is to sinkholes. The work centres on soil sampling and testing, with laboratory analysis of both soil composition and moisture content.
Scope
• Develop a concise field-work plan that pin-points optimal sampling locations above the dolomite bedrock.
• Collect representative soil samples, document depths, and photograph each pit/core.
• Run laboratory tests for grain-size distribution, mineralogical makeup, and in-situ moisture.
• Interpret the data in terms of void-forming potential, dissolution pathways, and any tell-tale instability indicators common to dolomitic terrains.
• Compile a clear, illustrated report that:
– explains the methodology and laboratory results,
– maps areas of elevated sinkhole risk, and
– recommends practical mitigation or further investigative steps.
I will supply a site plan, previous topographic data, and facilitate access. Please outline the equipment you intend to use, anticipated sample count, and your turnaround time from mobilization to final report. A concise, professional deliverable that lets me understand the risk at a glance is what matters most.
