Hammer refraction seismic testing near some bridge sites in the Northeast Transit corridor delineated mainly the water table and not the different layers of rock. To obtain the hard bedrock - water bearing sediments interface a much larger spread and threfore a much greater energy source would have to be used. It is recommended that shallow refraction seismic investigations not be carried out as the information from them would not enhance the borehole information already obtained.
