Geotechnical Survey Egypt Lake -Leto What is a Geotechnical Survey?

Before any building or structure can be constructed at a location, a construction company has to perform a geotechnical survey. Egypt Lake-Leto construction companies cannot use their best judgement to go ahead and start building something without knowing the state of the soil and sediment below the surface of a building site, as it can reveal many different aspects that can affect the construction building. For example, it is quite possible in the state of Florida to find a sinkhole on site of a construction project. If the sinkhole can not be fixed or re-mediated in some capacity, it could cause the construction project to be put on hold until a new site is found.

How do Geotechnical Drill Companies Perform a Survey?

Most construction companies do not do their own geotechnical surveys and must contract a geotechnical drilling company to come drill and collect samples to be analyzed in a laboratory setting. Most of these samples or bore core samples that take large chucks of the sediments below and makes them visible so professionals can determine if there are any anomalies they should be worried about. With a geotechnical Survey, Egypt Lake-Leto construction companies that contracted a geotechnical drilling company might find that there is much water below the surface of their construction site that can cause problems and complications.

What Types of Equipment Do Geotechnical Surveys Involve?

The most important pieces to a geotechnical survey of a construction site are a drilling rig and the type of drill bit they use. Some locations are a lot more compact and make it harder for bigger rigs to collect samples from a geotechnical survey. Egypt Lake-Leto companies that have to dig into the ground need a multiple array of drill bits to get into different types of soil and sediment because different conditions can make it easier or harder for specific types of drill bits to drill into the ground.
