Hi all

 

We noted this conversation back in June and just wanted to poke it again.

 

For those who responded (and anyone else who wants to jump in) when specifying % samples for trenching, is the % figure given for going in cold, or following geophysics?

 

If the former, how do people determine sampling strategies following geophysics – just by what looks right?

 

Any thoughts/comments appreciated.

 

 

Best wishes

Subject: % Sampling Strategies for site evaluation

 

Dear All – I have a question related to minimum acceptable percentage trenching sample to evaluate a greenfield site. The figure of 5% was used a lot in the past but is such a small sample still generally considered to be usefully valid? Can’t find anything in the CIfA or ALGAO libraries to update me so would be grateful for any help and useful (on-line) references.

Many thanks
