1. What are geotechnical services?
Geotechnical services involve the evaluation of soil, rock, and groundwater conditions to support the design and construction of foundations, retaining structures, and other earthworks.
2. Why are geotechnical services important?
These services are crucial for ensuring the stability, safety, and longevity of construction projects by identifying potential ground-related issues early in the planning stages.
3. What types of projects require geotechnical services?
Projects such as buildings, bridges, roads, tunnels, dams, and other infrastructure developments typically require geotechnical services.
4. What methods are used in geotechnical investigations?
Common methods include soil sampling, borehole drilling, geophysical surveys, laboratory testing, and in-situ testing such as Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) and Cone Penetration Tests (CPT).
5. How do you determine the scope of a geotechnical investigation?
The scope is determined based on the project’s size, location, and specific requirements, as well as regulatory guidelines and standards.
6. How long does a geotechnical investigation take?
The duration varies depending on the project’s complexity and site conditions, but typically ranges from a few weeks to several months.
7. Can geotechnical services help in existing structure assessments?
Yes, geotechnical services can evaluate existing structures to identify potential foundation issues and recommend necessary remedial measures.
