[For Architectural Design Firms] Ground Investigation of Embankment Areas | Geotech

In a residential development built on filled land, balancing safety and cost as the basis for design.

In the construction of subdivided built-for-sale houses on developed embankment areas and sloped land, the risk of differential settlement due to uneven ground and the excessive ground reinforcement costs required to avoid this become design challenges. Geotech provides a unique ground investigation and analysis solution that captures the complex ground behavior specific to embankment areas, balancing safety and cost. Our investigations adopt a unique evaluation standard consisting of three items and eight elements: "ground strength, shrinkage, and deformation," in addition to legal standards. Furthermore, by introducing the SDS test, which digitally measures torque and penetration speed, we have achieved accurate automatic classification of soil types. By analyzing the thickness of the embankment, years elapsed, compaction level, and soil settlement characteristics from multiple angles, we can precisely calculate the allowable stress beneath the foundation, leading to "optimal foundation design" that prevents unnecessary long piles and excessive ground improvement, which can be used as a basis for design. 【Application Scenarios】 - Ground investigation for built-for-sale houses in embankment areas - Evaluation of differential settlement risk - Suppression of excessive ground reinforcement costs - Precise determination of design ground bearing capacity 【Benefits of Implementation】 - Provision of objective data as a basis for design - Balancing safety assurance and cost reduction - Improvement of long-term stability of buildings
