Geotechnical Investigations
Geotechnical Investigations carried out to determine the type of ground that will support the structure
Gathara Consulting Engineers supervises field geotechnical investigations. Geotechnical Investigations are carried out to determine how stable or sturdy a ground is to safely carry a structure. They are carried out via drilling boreholes and/or trial pits on an existing site; and thereafter the soil samples are analysed in a laboratory for various parameters. A report is then issued with the design recommendations for the various ground conditions; as well as recommendations of the suitable foundations and bearing capacities. We recommend that all sites have a geotechnical investigation carried out prior to commencement of design of the substructure/foundations.
