Developers with extensive experience in the implementation of real estate projects strongly recommend all soil research on the project site to complete before the purchase of this real estate. Consultants of geological engineers conducting geological work should carry out a large number of tests to clarify the nature of the soils of the site, the depth of groundwater, the presence of harmful substances and many other indicators that affect the construction process. Although engineering geology itself does not belong to the exact sciences, the involvement of professionals consultants in this field significantly reduces the risks of the project.
Previously, it is necessary to drill a well of a certain depth and get to study the profile of soil layers. He is analyzed in laboratory conditions. The results obtained allow us to assess the nature of the soil at different levels, its density and the presence of impurities and the presence or absence of harmful substances. If the area of the site is small and there are no problems with groundwater, one well is enough. If the composition of the samples detects harmful substances, you need to drill up to six wells and even more.
The consultant of the geologist draws up a full report on the composition of the soil and separately each layer. The report includes the classification of soils by color, grains and density size. Based on the results of laboratory tests and research necessary to clarify the bearing capacity of soils, the geologist gives recommendations on the most appropriate area of the foundation. Determination of the bearing capacity of the soil T. e. its ability to withstand the full weight of the constructed structure is also necessary to calculate the depth of the foundation.
Additionally, the geologist explores the nature and stability of the slopes on the site, otherwise the slopes can begin to “slide” when the soil is excavated. Further, on the basis of the resulting stability of the slopes, the geologist gives reasoned recommendations on how to conduct a sample of the Earth in order to prevent the sowing and collapse of the trenches and pits. Together with the architect and builders, geologists are developing a project for the foundation for the built building or structure.
They receive payment in accordance with the contract, depending on the complexity of the project. Additional costs for laboratory tests and studies are varying very widely and are determined both by the size of the site and the number of trial wells, the nature and type of methods and devices used to study soil.
