The council says the work will help contractors better understand what’s beneath the site’s surface, including elements such as services, soil and water conditions.
The results will help the council put in place a regeneration scheme that’s been informed by much public consultation.
Council leader Rob Stewart said: “Our much improved Castle Square Gardens will be a vital element in our ongoing £1bn regeneration programme for Swansea.
“Work on site over a small number of days from 20 November will help design and construction teams understand the challenges presented by areas hidden from view.
“During this test work we aim to keep disturbance to the public to a minimum.”
The council say it’s contractors will work in a small number of fenced off areas. Castle Square will remain open and there’ll be no disturbance to forthcoming Christmas activity.
It adds that the subsequent main work will see today’s tired-looking Castle Square become greener and more welcoming to all.
