Boring, sampling, and testing the soil strata below ground. Investigation analysis to establish compressibility, strength, and other characteristics of the strata. This is done as input to a construction project, preparing a subsurface profile and soil report. Also called foundation investigation, soil investigation, soil test, or subsurface investigation.
