Soil resistivity data

Hi all


A couple of times recently (example) there’s been mention of the BGS soil electrical resistivity model. I looked it up (here) and indeed it does look like a helpful resource as a first-pass check prior to - and a sense check for - a proper survey. But the pricing model direct from BGS isn’t sensible for a single site due to handling fees and they’re not replying to emails anyway... has anyone got experience of actually using the data or an alternative and where was it obtained from? 

Sparkingchip‍ mentioned that he’d seen a wall poster available which would be ideal. But I can’t see where he’d get it from?

    If you have a 4 Wire earth resistance tester, or you hire one, you could do you own site survey.


    I think I have a PDF on file that tells you how to do it. It's not a 5 minute job if you have a large site.
