Background Analysis before a Subsurface Investigation takes place
All site investigations require a field investigation. Geotechnical Contractors need to gather information about the types of structures which are intended to be built and what their uses will be. This includes key characteristics of the structure, when it is scheduled to be built,what methods of construction are planned and how long construction is estimated to take.
