Shallow foundation investigations for light structurestypically comprising of single and double storey infrastructural units.
Typical structures include:
- Solar Panels
- Schools/Clinics
- Residential Structures
- Industrial/Warehouse Structures
- Substations
- Churches
- Community Halls
- Sports Complexes etc.
Typical Investigative Procedures:
Investigative methodology dependant on the site’s location and the nature of the proposed development. Investigative methods typically include;
Desktop studies and geological field mapping
Trial pitting– and associated undisturbed and disturbed soil testing
In-situ testing methods; DMT, DPSH, DPL and DCP
Undisturbed sampling is vital to allow for the assessment and quantification of the mechanical properties of the underlying soft materials
