In the office reconnaissance stage, available information about the engineering project and the geology of the location is collected and reviewed, based on which reasonable field reconnaissance plan and a preliminary plan of the site exploration are proposed. In the field reconnaissance stage, the items include but are not limited to topography and vegetation, surface soil and rock, natural slopes and gully, geologic structures, surface and subsurface water, based on the selection which final plan of site exploration is decided. In the site exploration phase, some information is checked and made sure by the use of drilling, sampling and geophysical tests. 2 Office Reconnaissance1.
