SITE INVESTIGATION Preliminary site exploration

Also known as general site exploration, an approximate picture of sub-soil conditions can be obtained during this stage at low cost. The data collected are suitable for small projects, light structures, and minor engineering works.

Some general information obtained through preliminary site exploration,

  • Approximates values of soil’s compressive strength.
  • Position of the groundwater table.
  • Depth and extent of soil strata.
  • Soil composition.
  • Depth of hard stratum from ground level.
  • Engineering properties of soil (disturbed sample)
