  Surveyors will be at Hemsleys Meadow and Finches Field during the first couple of weeks of September to carry out the site assessment for the Ground Investigation survey. This will involve drilling in locations agreed with the design team engineers.

  
  

  Mid Sussex District Council are working with a member of the Association of Geotechnical & Geoenvironmental Specialists. They will use a track mounted hydraulic drilling rig to drill exploratory holes which can then be used for testing. They will fence off the area whilst they are working and backfill the holes once they are finished.

  
  

  A Ground Investigation survey seeks to establish the soil and rock profile. The data they collect will form part of a report used by the design team engineers when designing drainage features or foundation details.
