Things You Should Know About Soil Investigation

• Soil investigation must be commenced to determine
  the bearing ability of the soil, its completion
  rate, and the location of the water table. One of
  the easiest approaches is to dig trial pits and
  visual examinations carried out then tasters with
  minimum disturbance are gathered for successive
  laboratory testing. Where feasible, drilling
  should be commenced as this enables one to obtain
  uninterrupted samples from which settlement rate
  and bearing capacity may be achieved.

• For any respectful designing venture, anyway
  enormous or little, it is of essential
  significance that an appropriate field study and
  an exact geotechnical examination be led. The
  geotechnical examination is an indispensable
  piece of the development procedure that is done
  to get data about the physical qualities of
  soil/rock around a site.

• If the power of the soil is not sufficient for
  the increased loading, it is essential to develop
  on the foundations by presenting piles or
  enlarging the footing and strengthening it
  betters to withstand the increased loading.

• 1. Site Exploration
• Site reconnaissance is the initial stage of site
  investigation. In this stage, visual examination
  of the site is done and information about
  topographical and geological structures of the
  site is collected.

• 2. Introductory Site Exploration
• Primary site exploration is carried out for
  airfields, highways, minor projects, etc. The
  main intention of the preliminary investigation
  is to obtain a ballpark picture of sub soil
  conditions at a minimal cost. It is also called
  common site exploration.

• 3. Full Site Exploration
• Full exploration is preferred for complicated
  projects, major engineering works, heavy
  structures like dams, bridges, high rise
  buildings, etc. A massive amount of capital is
  needed for a full site exploration hence, it is
  not recommended for minimal engineering works
  where the budget is narrow. For such kind of
  works, data collected throughout introductory
  site exploration is sufficient.

• 4. Preparation of Report of Sub-Soil Exploration
  
• After presenting preliminary or full site
  exploration systems a report should be prepared.

Site investigation or Subsoil discoveries are
done with the help of acquiring the information
about subsurface conditions at the site
wished-for construction. Soil discoveries consist
of being responsible for the profile of the
natural soil residues at the site, taking the
soil tasters, and defining the engineering
properties of soils using laboratory tests as
well as on-site testing methods. In fact, there
are many soil investigation companies in Dubai
that will assist you to get top-notch soil
investigation, soil laboratory testing and soil
analysis services.
