Soil Survey is used

What kind of soil survey to use?

There are many kinds of soil surveys in use, none of which apply universally as they are designed to suit different purposes. They operate at different levels of intensity, scaling, accuracy and cost.

We understands that a set of different soil properties are of critical importance for different uses, and our soil surveys are tailor-made to suit the specific needs of a particular project or a land user; corporates, private enterprises or government agencies. We use almost exclusively ground truthing and soil profiling, which is the only internationally-recognized system that has stood the test of time

Who is responsible for a soil survey?

In most countries, only accredited soil scientists with adequate training in soil surveying and amelioration are licensed to engage in this kind of work. However, there are exceptions.

A quality soil survey is done only once, and it is vitally important to use only the most experienced personnel and the finest available technology to get the best possible outcome for your money the first time round.

John Rasic Consulting does not engage inadequately-trained staff to do field work, even though their low hourly rates may have some appeal. Instead, we roll up our sleeves, jump into the soil pits and do the “dirty” work ourselves, as we understand that soil maps and reports based on incorrect data can be extremely damaging for land users.
