geotechnical investigations

Geotechnical investigations involve studying the properties of soil and rocks at a site to ensure safe and effective construction. Engineers examine how the ground behaves under different conditions—such as loads from buildings or infrastructure—and assess stability, drainage, and potential risks like landslides or earthquakes. This process includes field sampling, testing, and analysis to gather essential data. The goal is to design foundations and structures that are safe, durable, and suited to the specific characteristics of the land, reducing the risk of future problems or failures.
