Summary

This Web service provides a spatial index into the ground investigation (also known as site investigation) reports collection held by the British Geological Survey (BGS) in the National Geoscience Data Centre (NGDC). Because of the long history and composite nature of this collection, and the different methodologies which have been used to locate and spatially reference the reports, the accuracy of report areas varies within the collection. Some reports have been scanned, and where available, a download link to the scan is provided.
