It’s no secret that today for individual buildings, as a rule, not very prosperous territories are distinguished with defects in natural addition. In order for the construction of a private building or residential building to be successful, and the construction has been served for many years, it is necessary to conduct geological surveys to carefully study the engineering and geological conditions in the planned building zone.
Today we are observing the active development of construction equipment, which allows you to conduct successful construction on almost any ground surfaces. But with an insufficient or poor -quality study of geological conditions, or ignoring these data in the process of designing the building, the threat of subsequent formation of cracks, uneven drawdowns, rolls and other emergency situations that may lead to very sad consequences, such as complete destruction of the construction, increase.
Therefore, the timely conduct of geological research is the first and most important stage of construction work, on which the durability and quality of the building depends. The purpose of this procedure is to obtain detailed and complex data, the identification of hazardous natural and technogenic processes (subsidence, landslides, flooding, etc. D.), the study of the properties of soil and groundwater, consideration of the site in a kind of context.
Conducting engineering and geological surveys allows you to correctly choose a design solution that will ensure high quality, safety and technical reliability of the construction process and further operation of the facility. The specific information about the engineering and geological state of the territory allows us to more efficiently use and save funds, since the need for additional improvements and alterations in the process of construction work is completely excluded.
The scope of work during geological surveys depends on the following factors:
– the degree of complexity of the geological structure of the territory under consideration;
– the level of knowledge of the district;
– purpose and design features of the planned building;
– The current stage of the design procedure.
After the end of exquisitive work, experts provide developers with recommendations on the optimal depth of the sole of the foundations or the depth of pile drilling, as well as recommendations on the most reliable waterproofing and protecting the object from flooding with groundwater, freezing, rust and other dangerous geological processes.
