Geotechnical Survey Fish Hawk Geotechnical Surveys for Construction Companies

One of the largest groups of people who would need geotechnical surveys done on a regular basis are construction companies. Before construction should begin at a location, a construction company should already have a good idea of what to expect in terms of geological conditions because of a professional geotechnical survey. Fish Hawk residents should be made aware that if a geotechnical survey is never done before construction begins, it can be very dangerous for the construction crew currently working, but also any future work done by individuals in a specific building or location. Here are some scenarios of why geotechnical surveys are so important to construction companies.

Foundational Drilling

Foundational drilling is often the first step that construction companies do when there is a new building to be constructed. All buildings should have a sturdy foundation to be built on, so this is why it is often the first place construction companies start. Before a foundation should be drilled for, construction crews should have a good idea of what is hiding below the surveys, thanks to the information collected from a geotechnical survey. Fish Hawk Residents Should know that a construction company can find out if the ground is level at a location suitable for building, or they can find out if a sinkhole is currently present at the location. Both of which are important pieces of information to know.

Sinkhole Remediation

Construction companies in the state of Florida and other areas of the United States know that they have to be careful of any possible sinkhole activity, as most of the state has the right geological conditions for them to form. Not only can they ruin construction plans, but they can potentially damage already built structures. With the help of a geotechnical survey, Fish Hawk construction professionals can potentially catch  a dangerous sinkhole, and fix it so that construction can be safe proceeding forward.
