Geotechnical investigation is the process of collecting and analyzing data about the subsurface conditions of a site.
It is essential for the design and construction of safe and stable industrial facilities.
Geotechnical investigation for industrial application will typically include the following:
- Site reconnaissance
- Borehole drilling
- Soil sampling
- Laboratory testing
- Geotechnical analysis
The results of the geotechnical investigation will be used to determine the bearing capacity of the soil, the stability of the slopes, and the risk of landslides and earthquakes.
This information will be used to design the foundation and structure of the industrial facility to withstand the loads and forces it will be subjected to.
Geotechnical investigation is a critical component of the design and construction of industrial facilities. It can help to prevent catastrophic failures and ensure the safety of the workers and the environment.
