Who Signs Off on Subsoil
On 11 November 2026, the Saudi Geological Survey Authority issued draft rules to regulate geological consultancy and invited comments. Their publication does not mean they have entered into force. The draft proposes licensing Saudi nationals with a qualification in geology or earth sciences and documented experience, across three categories requiring a minimum of 10, 15, or 20 points. Licences would be valid for three years. It highlights the responsibility of the signatory to have appropriate expertise and experience, and to explain test results, their assumptions, and their limitations. Interpretations of soil, rock, and water conditions affect the design of foundations, tunnels, and dams, as well as the safety of their construction.
