In today’s world, field investigation is a necessity to get a detailed overview of any area for civil engineering construction purpose. Precise determination of engineering geological properties is essential to plan for a proper design and successful construction for any civil engineering structure. The traditionally practiced conventional methods for the same are invasive, costly and time consuming. Electrical Resistivity Survey is an attractive tool for delineating subsurface geology without soil disturbance. Reliable correlation between electrical resistivity values and other field geological parameters can help in successful interpretation of the engineering properties and behavior of soil in evaluation of difficult terrains e.g. for obtaining hard rock position, obtaining continuity of rock strata and for knowing the position of various sub – stratifications.
