British Geological Survey GeoSure
Prices start from £10
Features and benefits
Understanding geology is vital when determining the stability (and thus value) of land, property, and the safety of its occupiers. The GeoSure data sets from the British Geological Survey provide information about potential ground movement or subsidence in a helpful and consistent rating system.
The data can help inform planning decisions and indicate causes of subsidence.
The data is available here for instant selection and download in a simple to use PDF layered format with Ordnance Survey 1:50,000 mapping as an underlying layer.
Not only is the data delivered quickly but with the FREE Adobe Reader (Version 6 or later) it is easy to view and print all or just a few of the possible layers at one time and thus more instantly understand the information.
The enlargement offers no greater accuracy or detail but provides a product which is less compact and thus simpler to read for complex or 'busy' geological areas. It is also useful if you only require a small area but want to fill a certain sheet size, for example A4.
The data can help inform planning decisions and indicate causes of subsidence.
GeoSure national data sets give you valuable information about:
- Soluble rocks
- Shrink swell
- Landslides
- Compressible ground
- Running sand
- Collapsible rocks
