UK Specification for Ground Investigation: Yellow Book Revision key changes

Overview

Following surveys during 2019 it became apparent that there was a need from the Ground Engineering industry to update the UK Specification for GI 2nd Edition, which first became available during 2009. The 3rd Edition was published May 2022 and now better caters for new legislation, standards and guidance published since the second edition. The most significant change for this edition is the aspiration to make tendering and pricing more “transparent” to all those involved. To that end there is a deliberate move away from the “lump sum” pricing, so that individual rates are used to derive the final tender sum.

This revision also reflects the changing practices, data capture and management, innovation, new technologies and growth of the geo environmental sector and associated ground investigation on potentially contaminated and contaminated land.
