GeoSure Basic

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. Complete Great Britain national coverage is available. GeoSure Basic is a single, combined GeoSure model, containing only the highest score of all the GeoSure layers. The model has been re-classified to negligible - very low, low and moderate - high. The methodology is based on the 6 GeoSure individual hazard Assessments. 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. 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.
