What Is a Florida Geotechnical Report?

Pineland Engineering (AR102594 · PE 39202) answers Florida engineering and permitting questions for property owners, contractors, and developers statewide.

A Florida geotechnical report (also called a soil investigation or soil boring report) is a document prepared by a geotechnical engineer that describes the soil conditions at a construction site and provides recommendations for foundation design.

The Short Answer

A Florida geotechnical report is prepared by a licensed geotechnical engineer and includes: soil boring logs (documenting the soil layers encountered at specific depths), laboratory test results (soil classification, compaction characteristics, bearing capacity), and foundation recommendations (pile type, pile depth, allowable bearing pressure for shallow foundations). A geotechnical report is required for most commercial and multi-family projects, and for residential projects with unusual soil conditions or in coastal flood zones. Pineland Engineering coordinates geotechnical investigations for each project.
