IE GSI PanGeo Ground Stability 50k Cork (ROI) WGS84

Knowing how stable the ground is can help find the ground best suited to development. It can also help to monitor and assess ground movement that could threaten existing structures. Engineers need this information when they are designing structures (houses, buildings, roads, etc.). They need to know the quality of the ground (strength and depth of soil, if rock and or groundwater is present) and how structures can be built in and on it. They use the information to decide the best supports and foundations needed for structures so that they don’t collapse.
