Site Investigation | Reducing Construction Time for Single-Story Logistics Warehouses through Plate Load Testing and Rapid Foundation Selection
Ground investigation
Significantly shorten the construction period of single-story logistics warehouses! Rapidly evaluate shallow layer bearing capacity through plate load tests and achieve early business operation with direct foundations that eliminate pile work.
In a development project for single-story logistics warehouses where early tenant occupancy and early business commencement are strongly desired, the prolonged construction period due to ground reinforcement work results in significant opportunity losses in terms of business profitability. Excessive safety-side judgments relying solely on general simple sounding surveys lead to unnecessary deep pile driving work and large-scale ground improvement methods, which are major factors causing significant delays in the construction schedule. The plate load test solution provided by Geotech is an advanced technical service that directly applies load to the shallow ground at the actual construction site, quickly and accurately measuring the ultimate bearing capacity and deformation coefficient that the ground inherently retains. By calculating the long-term allowable bearing capacity based on highly reliable objective data, we can immediately determine the feasibility of eliminating pile driving work and opting for "direct foundations (such as mat foundations and strip foundations)." Reducing pile work not only cuts construction costs but also dramatically compresses the construction period and enables speedy approval of building applications, strongly supporting the early start of single-story logistics warehouses and the timely operation of the business as planned.

basic information
This test is conducted in full compliance with the Geotechnical Engineering Society standards (JGS 1521), and we will quickly set up reaction force machinery (such as hydraulic backhoes) and a 30 cm diameter steel loading plate to match the design load of the site. The loading device will use hydraulic jacks and high-precision compression load cells, and for displacement measurement, we will combine a digital displacement gauge (such as CDP-50) with a self-recording data logger to automatically record the settlement behavior. Before the fieldwork, we will thoroughly inspect and level calibrate various equipment, and quickly calculate and organize the ultimate bearing capacity, long-term allowable bearing capacity, and deformation coefficient from the measured data to issue an analysis report.

Applications/Examples of results
It is optimal for selecting foundation types for single-story logistics warehouses, large distribution terminals, and rental warehouses, where early completion and operational commencement within a short timeframe are strictly required. It effectively determines the feasibility of "pile-less direct foundations (slab foundations, strip foundations, etc.)" that omit excessive deep piling and ground improvement methods, realizes early tenant occupancy through significant compression of construction periods, and helps avoid construction delay risks in advance. Furthermore, it is utilized in various development processes that prioritize construction speed, such as providing rapid evidence of ground bearing capacity to shorten the review period for building confirmation applications and structural compliance assessments, and delivering speedy foundation selection responses to general contractors and designers.
