RIPPABILITY
How strong is the bedrock? How big a bulldozer do I need to rip (rather than blast) a highway cut? Are there hard patches in the subsurface that I cannot rip?
Geophysical Solutions:
GOOD METHOD: Ground Penetrating Radar (M-12)
BETTER METHOD: Cross hole Seismic (M-6)
BEST METHOD: Seismic Refraction (M-1)
Honorable mention: Seismic Reflection (M-2)
