Why ground investigation is just as important for driven piling as it is for bored methods

There is sometimes an assumption that because driven piling is a more robust method in challenging ground conditions, the ground investigation matters less. This is not the case. A thorough ground investigation is just as important for SCD driven piling as it is for any other foundation method, and in some respects it is more important because the design decisions that depend on it, including the set criterion, the casing specification, and the driving resistance profile, are all calculated before installation begins and need to be based on reliable data. Getting those calculations wrong because the investigation was inadequate creates problems during installation that are more disruptive and costly to resolve than the investigation itself would have been to commission properly.
