03Strategic insight
Strategic insight · AI analysis
Ensure strict QA/QC procedures during drilling and sampling to guarantee the quality of the geotechnical logs. Implement immediate depth control and accurate labeling to prevent inconsistencies between BHTV and cores. Focus on minimizing man-induced fractures to maximize the reliability of the RQD and Q-system results.
04Points of attention
Important · 5
There are significant core damages and labeling issues.Important
Depth issues have been identified between the BHTV data and the cores.Important
The RQD evaluation is affected by fractures induced by drilling and handling.Important
The tectonic interpretation suffers from the low quality of the cores.Important
The fault throw cannot be evaluated without independent age determination.Important
05Exclusion grounds
Exclusion grounds — consult the ESPD
- No specific exclusion grounds were extracted. In a European tender, the mandatory and discretionary grounds of art. 2.86/2.87 of the Dutch Procurement Act almost always apply — check the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD).
06Value in context
