Site Investigation | Optimizing Pile Layout for New Construction on Weak Soil Using DB Composite Ground Bearing Capacity Survey

Clarifying the unevenness of the supporting layer for new buildings on soft ground through the comparison of wide-area ground databases and multi-point measurements! Preventing excessive pile design and achieving optimization of pile placement.

This solution is a ground consulting service that highly integrates and correlates extensive ground database and multi-point field sounding measurements for building new construction plans on soft ground. In sites where uneven soft soil layers and complex undulations of bearing layers are hidden, relying solely on single-point investigations can lead to evaluation errors of the supporting ground, directly resulting in excessive designs such as unnecessary extensions of pile lengths and increases in the number of piles. Geotech immediately cross-references accumulated surrounding boring data (GEODAS) with continuous Nd values and torque data obtained on-site. This allows for the precise identification of the three-dimensional transition of ground bearing capacity and local soft spots. By directly linking the visualized ground bearing capacity values with structural calculation models, we determine the minimal pile layout and optimized pile lengths in millimeter increments according to stress concentration under columns. This prevents rework of pile head drilling and chipping at the construction site, significantly optimizing construction budgets and timelines.
