Planned surface exposures for geological observation and controlled channel sampling.

Planned surface exposures for geological observation and controlled channel sampling.

Trenches and pits are designed around the approved target, access, ground conditions, environmental controls and safe-work method. Locations, dimensions, logs, samples and rehabilitation status remain linked in the project record.

  • Target, access and safe-work planning
  • Excavation location and dimension control
  • Geological logging and channel sampling
  • Backfilling and rehabilitation evidence
  • Trench and pit register
  • Logs, sections and sample records
  • Rehabilitation close-out record

Evidence supports the decision; it does not replace qualified judgement.

Source records, approvals and issued outputs remain traceable. Legal, geological, resource and safety decisions are reviewed by the appropriately qualified domain professionals for the project.
