The main requirements for the shallow seismic field works technique parameters for engineer-geological issues solving are represented. The optimum technique for the St.-Petersburg and its suburbs territory based on the results of experimental seismic studies, providing a detailed study of the upper part of the geological section, are proved.
Several examples of seismic reflection method test surveys in St.-Petersburg and its suburbs are reviewed. The key point of research was the choice of an optimum field seismic works technique, processing and interpretation technique, providing the reliable solution of shallow depth investigation for the presented area.
