Drilling Union Park Geotechnical Drilling for Newly Constructed Residential Homes

When most people think about geotechnical drilling and where these professionals might be working, it is easy to think about large construction sites in cities or surveying in rural areas. While this is certainly true, it is not the only area to see professionals performing geotechnical drilling. Union Park residents should also know that geotechnical drilling can be a common occurrence in residential communities, especially when it comes to new houses being developed in newly formed communities. Here are some reasons why construction companies may need to contact geotechnical drilling professionals for their drilling services.

Foundational Drilling

Before any structure goes ahead with being built on the ground of a site, construction workers prioritize creating a stable foundation before they get too involved in the process. Construction crews typically do not have the equipment necessary to perform foundational drilling. Union Park residents should know that this is one of the reasons why they choose to contract drilling professionals instead of doing it themselves. Foundational drilling involves drilling bore holes many feet under the spot that a house will be built on in order to offer it more support and make it a safer structure for the future occupants when it comes time to move in.

Drilling for Home Water Systems

Even home and building needs to have plumbing in order to have running water and waste management. Depending on the type of structure such as some residential homes, a construction company is not going to be able to effectively dig into the ground to lay water lines and pipes. This task would be done much quicker and with more precision if they were handled by professionals that specialize in geotechnical drilling. Union Park residents might not be aware how much space is required in order to effectively get a waterline to connect to existing work usually made by the city the home is being constructed in, and how much piping it would take to connect to sewer lines, or install a septic system if need be.
