Geotechnical Survey Wesley Chapel Why are Geotechnical Surveys Needed?

Geotechnical surveys or geotechnical investigations are very common with every construction project as it is the best way to ensure safety of people and materials on location. With a geotechnical survey, Wesley Chapel construction workers can have a pretty good idea of what conditions are like before they start construction such finding out the soils strength, what is its composition like, how much moisture or water is present, and also if there are any geological anomalies that they should take not of. If someone does not get a geotechnical survey for their construction project and start building, they soon find that the more they progress, the more complications can happen if they are not taken care of first.

Geological Anomalies

People in the construction business or a company that is being contracted to build something have no idea of knowing beforehand what the conditions of the site are like. For example, as the result of a geotechnical survey, Wesley Chapel construction workers might be able to determine that this is an active sinkhole present. It would be a very bad idea to continue construction knowing that there is a sinkhole or another geological anomaly that could compromise the structural integrity of a building.

Understanding What Type of Soil You are Dealing With

One thing that is more important to construction workers and geotechnical drilling professionals then the average person might think is what the soil composition is like at a site. With a geotechnical survey, Wesley Chapel drilling professionals are able to notify construction crews where and how much of specific sediments are present at their location. Soil composition is important because it will determine what type of machinery and equipment is needed to effectively and efficiently complete a building project. If a soil composition is too dense to bore through, they may need different drill bits that can break up sediment more easily.
