Geotechnical Analysis Town n Country Geotechnical Analysis of a Residential Home

Regardless of the size of the project or what is being constructed on it, construction workers utilize the equipment and services offered by geotechnical drilling companies. Of the many ways that a geotechnical drilling company can help construction companies out, one of the more important services that they offer are geotechnical analysis. Town n Country residents might not be aware of how important geotechnical analyses are, but they play a huge role in determining the suitability of a site as well as how safe it is going to be once the structure has been built.

Soil Composition and Permeability Testing

It is great that a geotechnical drilling company is able to help out construction workers with geotechnical analysis, Town n country residents might want to know how specifically they tests help construction crews. One of the things that get tested in these analyses is to have soil be tested for its composition, as well as how permeable it is, or how loose or compacted the soil is. During one of these soil tests, a geotechnical drilling company might discover that the soil is too saturated with water to be a suitable location for a building. If it is wet at surface samples, then below the surface there is going to be even more moisture.

Sinkhole Discovery and Remediation

Another problem that could cause a building to collapse or compromise its structural integrity would be if a geotechnical drilling company was to discover that there are one or more sinkholes on a location they are trying to build at. When determined by a geotechnical Analysis, Town n Country construction workers would have to have the sinkhole taken care of to resume safe construction on a structure. Luckily though the geotechnical drilling company that was performing testing probably has the ability to fix the sinkhole so that construction workers can safely construct a building.
