GeoSure Compressible Deposits
The GeoSure data sets and reports from the British Geological Survey provide information about potential ground movement or subsidence in a helpful and user-friendly format. The reports can help inform planning decisions and indicate causes of subsidence. The methodology is based on BGS DiGMap (Digital Map) and expert knowledge of the behaviour of the formations so defined. This dataset provides an assessment of the potential for a geological deposit to compress under an applied load, a characteristic usually of superficial deposits such as peat or alluvium. Some types of ground may contain layers of very soft materials like clay or peat. These may compress if loaded by overlying structures, or if the groundwater level changes, potentially resulting in depression of the ground and disturbance of foundations. Complete Great Britain national coverage is available. The storage formats of the data are ESRI and MapInfo but other formats can be supplied.

Geotechnical data abstracted from NGDC site investigation collection and entered into the BGS geotechnical database. Methodology may be revised in the light of new knowledge or customer feedback. Changes in DiGMapGB-50 base data will require periodic or continuous revision. ADDITIONAL_INFO 1 = Complete GB National Coverage, subject to revision in line with changes in DiGMapGB-50 lithology codes. Based on 1:50 000 DiGMapGB-50 linework. Methodology consistent throughout. Otherwise subject to logical consistency of DiGMapGB-50.
