Overview

Mississauga's terms of reference for a geotechnical report, revised November 24, 2020, from the Transportation & Works Department. It describes the report as the compiled results of surface and subsurface investigation, soil sampling and laboratory analysis, prepared by a licensed P.Eng. or P.Geo., and lists the applications it can support, from Official Plan amendments to consents and underground works in the City right-of-way. It sets out boreholes and test pits, lab tests, recommendations on pavement, pipe bedding, dewatering and shoring, appendices, and infiltration testing for stormwater BMPs.
