Site Characterization

Site characterization is the process of thoroughly investigating and understanding a specific location to assess its suitability for a project, such as construction or environmental management. It involves collecting information about the physical, chemical, and biological conditions of the site, including soil, groundwater, geology, and existing structures. This detailed understanding helps identify potential risks or issues, ensuring that decisions are informed and safe. Essentially, site characterization provides a comprehensive "map" of the site's properties and conditions to guide planning, design, and safety measures effectively.
