The overview of geological condition of an area is too important for land-use planning. An engineering geological model can provide this overview. In this research, based on carried out studies and investigations, a model is given that shows the general engineering geological conditions of sediments in western Caspian Sea coast. This research is based on geomorphological, geological, sedimentological, hydrogeological and geotechnical studies. In this model, land units with similar behavior are defined and then the engineering geological characteristics and relevant geological hazards of these units are quantified. This model cannot be used as detail site investigation but serves as useful tool for preliminary investigation. This model helps to better design of field surveys as well as optimal selection of investigation methods for future civil engineering projects.

Engineering geology mapping has been central to engineering geology research since it is objectives that the project continues to develop and investigate methods for obtaining data and “mapping’ this data to be suitable for the needs of civil engineering and environmental assessments. Engineering geological maps of Chabahar area (at a scale of 1:25,000) was prepared to provide engineering geological information as an aid in land use planning. Study area consists of tertiary deposits and studied for assessment of some parameters such as foundation condition, excavation condition, waste disposal condition, engineering geological problems and environmental problems. Data collection was done through field investigations, inclusive borehole boring, systematic sampling and field and laboratory tests. Finally, results are shown in applied geological maps.
