Soil Investigations

Soil investigations involve studying the properties and conditions of the ground before construction or development. Engineers collect soil samples and analyze them to understand stability, strength, drainage, and potential issues like subsidence or flooding. This process helps determine the appropriate foundation type and design, ensuring safety and durability of structures. By assessing soil characteristics, soil investigations prevent future problems, guide planning, and minimize risks associated with building on different types of terrain.
