Catalogue Description
The Civil and Geotechnical Engineering Laboratory was closed in September 2011.Catalogue Contents
These are reports investigating the history of a site and recording various chemical and geological tests that were carried out, often to establish the suitability of the site for building work. The exact content of the reports varies according to their purpose.
They are numbered according to the original reference system, which is roughly chronological, and grouped into localities.
