TRIAL PIT AND BOREHOLE
• Excavation of ground in order to study or sample the composition and structure of the subsurface, usually dug during a site investigation, a soil survey or a geological survey.
• To identify whether the site is suitable for the proposed work.

TRIAL PITTRIAL PIT• Shallow excavations to a depth no greater
6m.
• Support use are timbering, steel frames with hydraulic jack, battered or tapered side.
• Suitable for most low rise developments. • Suitable for the investigation of all types of
land.
Depth Excavation Method
0-2m By Hand
2-4m Wheeled Back Hoe
4-6m Hydraulic Excavator

ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
•Preferred for
cohesive soil and soft
rock.
•Easy dug / excavated
using diggers.
•Showing clear land
strata to facilitate
rough inspections.
•Depth is limited.
•Deeper excavation will
require the human
energy.

ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
•Can extract mineral
resources.
•Work becomes easier
and faster.
•Can excavated soils
to a depth above 6m.
• Require skilled
workers to do the work
of drilling.
•Labor cost expensive.
