Description	This chapter discusses site investigations. The general aim of a geotechnical investigation campaign for tunnel design is to identify and quantify the characteristics of the ground which influence the cost and the tunnel construction time. In many countries there are suitable maps about geological, geotechnical, hydrogeological and geomorphological aspects and mining activities, among others, that could provide very interesting preliminary information about the area where the tunnel is going to be designed. Aerial photo interpretation allows observation of the ground features with regard to the morphology, geological structure, lithology and hydrology. Geotechnical cartography should be done after the analysis of the previous information about the area and making its geological photointerpretation. A geomechanic station is an aerial inspection of a rocky outcrop on the ground surface, which allows identification of the types of rocks constituting the rock mass, the discontinuities and estimates of some strength properties.
