This study compares Kriging and Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW) spatial interpolation methods for estimating intermediate soil properties at a construction site in Astana, Kazakhstan. Using data from eight boreholes, seven engineering geological elements (EGE) were identified and analyzed at 6.5 m and 11.5 m depths. Kriging produced deformation modulus values ranging from -0.29 to 18.99 MPa at 6.5 m and -0.51 to 23.94 MPa at 11.5 m, capturing more spatial variability compared to IDW, which provided ranges of 3.3 to 18.99 MPa and 2.6 to 23.99 MPa, respectively. Kriging’s ability to account for spatial correlations resulted in more accurate predictions, particularly in areas with complex subsurface variability. Meanwhile, IDW offered reliable localized results, effective in more uniform geological conditions. The findings demonstrate that both methods are valuable for geotechnical applications, with the choice depending on data density and site variability.
