Geotechnical Survey Boyette What Information is Important from Geotechnical Survey?

More often than not, a geotechnical drilling company is going to perform a geotechnical survey before they start drilling. This ensures that drilling professionals are going to have the right equipment to drill through the different types of sediments that could be found below the surface of the ground. But when it comes to a geotechnical survey, Boyette residents might not understand what information in these surveys help geotechnical drilling professionals, but it can be more important than they realize. Here are some of the pieces of a geotechnical survey that will be important to the drilling professionals working in the area.

What Types of Sediments are Present at the Location?

One of the bigger pieces of information from a geological survey that drilling professionals will benefit in knowing is what types of sediments are present at the location of a geotechnical survey. Boyette residents should know that different types of sediments require different drill bits to be used to do so effectively and efficiently. For example, if a lot of sand is present at the sight of a geotechnical survey, this will let professionals know that they need to use drilling rigs and bits that work better in softer and looser sediments.

Sinkhole Activity

Another important piece of information that geotechnical drilling companies should know when drilling at a specific area, if there is or ever was signs of sinkhole activity. Sinkholes are common in the state of Florida because of the right geological conditions, and they are more common than you think on a geotechnical survey. Boyette residents should know that if it is discovered by geotechnical drilling professionals, it can mean that construction might need to be stopped. Some sinkholes can be fixed so that structure can be safe, but many times it is not worth the time and effort to do so. Sometimes it is easier to perform a survey in another area in order to find a good location than to improve a bad location.
