Soil Settlement Sensitivity in North Holland for Construction Suitability

A geospatial dataset reflecting soil settlement sensitivity in North Holland, part of a research report on subsurface suitability for construction. It was created using all available drillings from the TNO DINO database and is published by the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations under a CC-PDM-1.0 license.

Use Cases

• Modeling soil settlement risk for building foundations based on the described sensitivity data.
• Creating subsurface suitability maps for construction planning, as referenced in the research report.
• Integrating geological data with other maps on Holocene thickness and reliability to assess weak ground conditions.

Strengths

• Part of a coordinated information set with three other datasets for determining construction suitability.
• Based on all drillings available in the TNO DINO database, both inside and outside North Holland.
• Published by a government ministry (Ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken en Koninkrijksrelaties).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
• Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
