Site Investigation | Precise Bearing Capacity Evaluation Survey to Optimize Pile Layout for New Construction on Soft Ground

Prevent construction troubles in new buildings on weak ground! By visualizing soil bearing capacity with high precision, we prevent excess or insufficient pile lengths and reduce overall site costs.

This solution is a high-precision ground investigation service that completely eliminates issues such as insufficient pile length, excessive pile driving, and construction rework troubles that are likely to occur during the construction of new buildings on soft ground. In construction sites with uneven soft soil layers or inclined bearing layers, unexpected drops in bearing layers can be discovered due to misjudgments from conventional coarse investigations, often resulting in the need for additional pile length or work stoppages. GeoTech employs a fully automated continuous measurement system to automatically collect penetration resistance and rotational torque at multiple points within the site at high density, in 200mm increments. Based on the reliable electronic data obtained, the three-dimensional undulations of the bearing layer and the allowable vertical bearing capacity are clearly visualized, allowing for the precise identification of the minimum necessary pile length and pile arrangement corresponding to the placement positions under each column in advance. This dramatically compresses unnecessary on-site tasks such as cutting and chipping of excess pile heads and reduces excessive equipment downtime, directly leading to significant reductions in overall construction costs and project timelines while ensuring safe and smooth site operations.
