Abstract

This work intends to summarise the principles of geotechnical mapping as one of the fundamental elements in diverse applications, emphasising its use in underground works. This activity is generally integrated into the construction and extractive industry projects and is often the starting point for dimensioning and layout design. Developed and applied by geo-professionals with well-established and systematized techniques, with the support of new technologies and tools, while never leaving aside old and always reliable tools derived from geological mapping as the compass and geological hammer, geotechnical mapping has undergone several developments. As a result, it is increasingly recognised as part of major projects. Its application in underground works is a key part of their development, whether in the on-site investigations, design development, and excavations monitoring.
