Site Investigation Techniques

Site investigation techniques are methods used to assess the properties and conditions of the ground before building. This includes drilling into the soil to collect samples, testing the soil's strength, and analyzing its composition. Geophysical methods, like ground-penetrating radar, help identify underground features without excavation. Soil and rock tests determine stability and suitability for construction. These techniques ensure that engineers understand potential risks, such as soil erosion or instability, so they can design safe, effective foundations and structures. Proper site investigation helps prevent future problems and ensures the safety and longevity of the project.
