Detailed geotechnical investigations are required to complete the township establishment, extensions, land rezoning and service installation processes.
Aim of subdividing the land surface into various development potential zones; with the identification and modelling of geotechnical parameters which may hamper development.
Typical Investigative Procedures:
Township Investigations are undertaken in several phases– each of which require their own unique investigative procedure; ranging from desktop studies (prefeasibility phase) to extensive trial pitting and associated sampling (Phase 1) to the profiling of excavated service trenches in (Phase 2 Investigations).
Township Investigations follow the standards put forward in the SANS 634 document.
