Geotechnical Drilling and Its Purpose
Geotechnical drilling is a type of drilling that is performed as a part of a building construction project. The primary purpose of geotechnical drilling is to determine whether or not a site is appropriate for construction. Site analysis is crucial for large construction projects because unsafe soil can trigger structural collapse or cause a dangerous working environment. Some of the things that geotechnical site investigations can display include:
- Water Content
- Soil compression
- Potential contaminants
- And more
