Generalised engineering geology map, 1 : 500 000   (IGUEK500)

The 1 : 500 000 generalised engineering geological map of Lower Saxony is derived from the 1: 500 000 generalised geological map and shows the geological subsurface in general to a depth of 2 m below ground, emphasising the properties relevant to assessment of the ground from a civil engineering perspective. From this point of view the shallow geology is summarised in 17 ground types to provide more clarity. Each ground type is described using stratigraphy, petrography and genesis. \r\n

Allocation to the DIN 18196 soil groups and DIN 18300 soil classes was then performed using this data. The soil groups characterise soils with similar material properties and the soil classes summarise soils in terms of their abstractability and ripping conditions. The 1: 500 000 map scale allows an initial overview of information on the shallow ground conditions in a given area. Within a state planning, spatial planning and infrastructure planning framework, such as for transport routes, an overview of the ground in the planning area can be quickly achieved.\r\n

The map therefore does not substitute for ground investigations to DIN 4020.\r\n

The engineering geology map is available at a scale of 1 : 50 000 for more detailed information. Information on ground conditions deeper than 2 m can be taken from Lower Saxony's borehole database and LBEG's geoarchive. \r\n

Notes on groundwater conditions for structural foundations: In addition to the geological conditions and the ground quality, the local groundwater conditions are also relevant for any planned construction project.
