Full title and description

SHNK 1.02.09-15 — "Geological engineering surveys for construction. Set of rules" (Russian: ШНК 1.02.09-15. Инженерно-геологические изыскания для строительства. Свод правил). This document defines procedural and technical requirements for planning, conducting and documenting engineering‑geological investigations used in the design, construction and reconstruction of buildings and infrastructure.

Abstract

This standard (issued in 2015) provides a unified framework for engineering‑geological site investigations: scope and objectives of surveys, required field and laboratory methods, minimum program content for different types of projects, requirements for boreholes and in‑situ tests, data processing and reporting, and considerations for geohazard assessment. It is intended to ensure that geotechnical information is sufficient and consistent for project design decisions.

General information

• Status: Replaced / superseded — the document SHNK 1.02.09-15 has been superseded by SHNK 1.02.09-21 (current national rule set for engineering‑geological surveys).
• Publication date: Approved 27 October 2015 (designation suffix -15 indicates the 2015 issue; approval by the relevant state architectural/construction authority in 2015).
• Publisher: Adopted by the State Committee (Gosarkhitektstroy / State Committee for Architecture and Construction of the Republic of Uzbekistan) as part of the SHNK normative system.
• ICS / categories: Construction / engineering surveys; geotechnical and geological site investigations (typical ICS subject areas used for related documents include soil/geotechnical and geology classifications).
• Edition / version: 2015 edition (original SHNK 1.02.09-15).
• Number of pages: Approx. 157 pages (PDF formatting as published in commercial standards catalogues).

Scope

Applies to engineering‑geological investigations performed for territorial planning, pre‑design studies, design documentation and construction works. The standard covers the definition of survey objectives, required field and laboratory investigations (boreholes, trial pits, in‑situ tests, geophysical methods), documentation requirements (logs, cross sections, engineering‑geological maps), and assessment of engineering‑geological risks (settlement, subsidence, landslides, groundwater effects). It is intended for a wide range of civil and industrial construction projects, from buildings to linear infrastructure.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope and objectives of engineering‑geological investigations for different project stages (preliminary, design, construction monitoring).
• Minimum program content: number/location of boreholes and test pits, sampling rules, required laboratory and in‑situ tests.
• Standards for borehole logging, soil/rock classification, groundwater observation and seasonal monitoring.
• Requirements for geophysical surveys and their integration with borehole data.
• Data processing, creation of engineering‑geological cross‑sections, maps and columns; reporting format and required conclusions for design use.
• Assessment and documentation of geohazards and recommendations for mitigation or further investigations.

Typical use and users

Used by geotechnical and engineering geology consultancies, design firms (structural and geotechnical engineers), construction contractors performing site investigations, regulatory authorities reviewing project documentation, and academic/technical specialists preparing geotechnical reports. The standard is referenced when preparing pre‑design and design documentation and when establishing the basis for ground‑related design decisions and mitigation measures.

Related standards

Related normative documents in the SHNK/CMK system include other engineering investigation rules and guidance (examples: SHNK 1.02.07 series on general survey provisions, SHNK 1.02.08 on geodetic surveys, and later consolidated/revised SHNK 1.02.09-21 which supersedes the -15 edition). National and regional codes on engineering investigations and production rules for hazardous soils are commonly referenced together with this document.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: SHNK 1.02.09-15 is a national set of rules that specified methods, program content and reporting requirements for engineering‑geological investigations used in construction projects (2015 edition).

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers planning and execution of field and laboratory surveys (boreholes, test pits, in‑situ tests, geophysical surveys), sample handling, logging and classification of soils and rocks, groundwater monitoring, preparation of cross‑sections and engineering‑geological maps, and reporting requirements for design and safety assessments.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Geotechnical engineers, engineering geologists, surveying and investigation contractors, design organizations and regulatory reviewers involved in pre‑design, design and construction phases. Project owners and consultants use its outputs as a basis for foundation design, earthworks and geohazard mitigation.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Superseded. SHNK 1.02.09-15 has been replaced by SHNK 1.02.09-21 (the later consolidated/updated rule set is the active document). For current binding requirements, consult the SHNK 1.02.09-21 edition.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is part of the SHNK normative system for construction surveys and investigations (group 1.02 — investigations). Related SHNK documents address geodesy, surveying methods, special soil conditions and procedures for reconstruction or hazardous areas.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: engineering‑geological investigations; geotechnical surveys; boreholes; in‑situ testing; soil and rock classification; groundwater monitoring; engineering‑geological maps; SHNK 1.02.09‑15.
