    Brief

    This opportunity supports research and development of an updated CIRIA guidance document on the Observational Method used in geotechnical engineering. The Observational Method is a systematic approach that allows geotechnical designs to be refined during construction based on actual site conditions and performance monitoring. This project seeks support to conduct research, gather case studies, and develop comprehensive guidance materials that will help practitioners in geotechnical engineering apply this method effectively. The updated guide will serve as a reference for engineers, contractors, and project managers implementing the Observational Method on construction projects.
