Soil Investigations / Geotechnical Explorations are carried out to gather information about the soil condition at the site before foundation design for any structure. It is very important to check the soil profile before the construction of any structure. This investigation/exploration is beneficial for effective structural design and for finalizing the construction techniques during execution.
During soil investigation / Geotechnical Exploration the soil profile is determined and samples are collected for the determination of index and engineering properties of the soil. After this analysis, the bearing capacity of the foundation can be calculated.
