Geotechnical Engineering Requirements

This standard covers mandatory geotechnical engineering requirements for onshore structures and earthworks. This standard does not address offshore geotechnical requirements, which are described in SAES-M-005 and SAES-Q-004, nor does it address any environmental related investigation or analysis.

All geotechnical investigations for onshore structures and earthworks for Saudi Aramco facilities must comply with this standard, including those investigations conducted directly for design and/or construction Contractors.
