Unexpected issues during construction, such as a high groundwater table or weak subgrade soil, can lead to costly structural design revisions, delays, and additional material costs. To avoid these surprises, it is essential to conduct a soil investigation (also known as a geotechnical report, geotechnical investigation, soil report, or soil test) before structural design.
A soil investigation helps your structural engineer understand the site’s specific conditions, allowing them to design your foundation and structure accurately. This eliminates the guesswork that could lead to multiple redesigns and adjustments during construction.
At GEO1, we specialize in comprehensive soil investigations tailored to meet your project’s unique needs. Whether you’re planning a multi-story building or a smaller structure, we assess the level of investigation required based on factors such as the size and scope of the project. Our primary focus is to ensure your building’s safety while helping you save on construction and future design costs.
Let GEO1 help you start your project right with reliable site data and expert soil analysis.
