Site Investigation
Starting a construction project is exciting, but it’s crucial to ensure your foundation is rock solid—literally! That’s where site investigations step in. These essential studies give you a clear understanding of your site’s suitability, ensuring it’s safe and ready for building, no matter the project size.
At Geo Static, we specialise in delivering precise, reliable data to help you build with confidence. Whether you’re planning a skyscraper or a cosy family home, we’ve got you covered. Let’s explore how our site investigations set your project up for success.
What Does a Site Investigation Include?
A site investigation is an in-depth process that involves several tests to assess the soil, environment, and overall conditions of the land where you plan to build. Here’s what it includes:
- Geotechnical Investigations: This looks at the soil conditions, how strong the ground is, and whether it can support your planned structure. It helps engineers design the right foundation.
- Environmental Investigations: These tests identify any contamination risks—think hazardous chemicals, pollutants, or even asbestos—on the site. The last thing you want is to build on land that might harm the future occupants.
- Topographical Surveys: A survey of the land’s surface, mapping out slopes, contours, and the position of existing structures. It helps with planning drainage and foundation design.
- Hydrological Studies: It’s all about water! These tests check groundwater levels and water flow on your site. It ensures that you’re not at risk of flooding or water damage.
Whether you’re developing land for a residential project or commercial use, these tests give you a clear picture of what you’re working with.
