GeoSure Running Sand 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 show running sand behaviour under the action of flowing water, a characteristic usually of saturated sand and silt grade material. Complete Great Britain national coverage is available. The storage formats of the data are ESRI and MapInfo but other formats can be supplied.

- Supplemental Information
- 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. 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.
