Thermal properties can differ on the same site due to differences in the geologic strata encountered. An in-situ thermal conductivity test from a single borehole may not represent the site average. In some cases test holes cost unneeded time and lots of money.
For pennies on the dollar, a predictive geologic/geothermal assessment (based on our library of data and years of experience) can give you a conservative average of the thermal parameters needed for your initial design.

Horizontal and vertical Geologic changes can occur on the same site. Hence, thermal properties can differ on the same site due to differences in the geologic strata encountered.

The earth’s temperature increases with depth – this is called the geothermal gradient. The rate of temperature increase in depth depends largely on the thermal conductivity of the geologic materials at each site. | ||
