Site Investigation | Plate Load Test and Eco Foundation Selection to Reduce CO2 Emissions in Single-Story Logistics Warehouses

Reducing CO2 emissions from single-story logistics warehouses! Achieving an environmentally friendly eco-foundation design that minimizes material usage by measuring shallow soil bearing capacity through flat loading tests.

From the perspective of ESG investment and promoting SDGs, the new construction project of single-story logistics warehouses is strongly demanding the reduction of environmental impact during construction and material manufacturing, as well as decarbonization. Excessive design based solely on conventional simple surveys, which is overly cautious, has led to unnecessary installation of steel pipe piles and large-scale cement column improvements, resulting in excessive material consumption and CO2 emissions due to a large number of dump truck trips. The plate load test solution provided by Geotech conducts direct loading on shallow ground at the actual construction site, accurately measuring ultimate bearing capacity and deformation coefficients. By obtaining reliable evidence of ground bearing capacity without relying on assumptions, it scientifically supports the adoption of "direct foundations (slab foundations and strip foundations)" while minimizing or eliminating the use of piles and solidifying materials. The reduction of materials and excavation volume, along with a significant decrease in construction vehicles, strongly promotes sustainable logistics warehouse construction by drastically cutting excessive reinforcement costs and environmental impact simultaneously.
