Bedrock Boreholes 1:50,000 Ireland (ROI) ITM (account)
This dataset provides records of boreholes drilled or dug into the ground across Ireland, mapped at 1:50,000 scale using the Irish Transverse Mercator (ITM) projection. Each borehole record or log describes the soil and rock material recovered from the hole, based on laboratory testing that determines subsurface structure and composition. The data is published by the Irish Government and covers the Republic of Ireland at national level. Access requires an account. It is useful for geological, engineering, and environmental analysis of ground conditions.A borehole is any hole drilled or dug into the ground. The hole is usually deep, narrow and round. The material (soil and or rock) from the hole is collected and tested in a laboratory to find out the structure and type of the soil and or rock beneath the ground. A borehole record or log is a writt…
