Geotechnical Investigation

Geotechnical investigation is the process of examining the ground and soil conditions at a potential construction site. It involves testing soil samples, analyzing soil strength, stability, and drainage, to understand how the ground will support structures like buildings or bridges. This helps engineers identify any potential issues, such as sinking or shifting, and design foundations that ensure safety, durability, and cost-effectiveness. Essentially, it’s a detailed assessment of the earth’s properties to inform responsible and reliable construction planning.
