Abstract
Geotechnical investigations are generally site specific and the parameters variate spatiallyand sometimes temporally due to meteorological events and earth dynamics.In this study, the suitability of an inert area to utilize a pipe stock site under a natural gaspipeline project was investigated, while considering the economic yield. Within the contextof this study, office works and field works are performed. Geotechnical data are collectedduring the field work in order to assess sub-surface conditions, prevailing under the proposedloads or pipe batch structures. Under field works, drilling operations, in –situ testingare performed. Assessment of the collected sub-surface data and its interpretation are realizedwithin the office works. In other respects, rentability is one of the main parameterscontrolling the feasibility of the project in engineering. In this study, the bearing capacityof the soil profile and the liquefaction potential of the investigated area are enlightenedand the suitability of the study area for the project is evaluated by comparing it with thevarious alternatives of soil remediation techniques and the consideration of their costs. Asa result of this study, it is revealed that the soil remediation costs are much more than portstorage renting fees.
