The purpose of teaching the discipline "Engineering site investigations" is the formation of knowledge and skills of future mining engineers builders reasonably decide to conduct engineering and geological studies of engineering and geological conditions of the area and site location, to obtain the necessary initial data, which will provide technical data and further economically feasible solutions in the design and construction of civil and industrial facilities.


The main tasks of studying the discipline "Engineering site investigations" are the formation of students' skills in recognizing the complexity of engineering and geological conditions of construction, methods of research of soil properties of foundations, types of exploration, drawing engineering and geological maps and sections, compile technical documentation on conditions buildings in various fields of human activity and industry.
