Site Investigation | Optimization of Pile Length and Foundation Costs through Deep Soil Bearing Capacity Evaluation for DC New Construction

Precisely measure the deep soil bearing capacity at the data center construction site to eliminate excessive safety factors that lead to long piles and excessive ground improvement, dramatically optimizing the total construction cost.

In the foundation design of data center construction, excessive setting of pile lengths and large-scale ground improvement works are often carried out due to an overestimation of safety factors stemming from the uncertainty of ground information, leading to soaring construction costs. GeoTech's deep ground bearing capacity evaluation service accurately identifies the true depth of deep supporting layers through deep boring surveys and standard penetration tests, eliminating unnecessary excess length. Furthermore, by conducting undisturbed sample collection of alluvial clay layers and laboratory consolidation tests, we clarify the original consolidation yield stress and consolidation characteristics of the soil, thereby eliminating unnecessary reinforcement works. Additionally, we accurately measure the ground deformation coefficient through in-situ lateral loading tests (LLT), review excessive lateral reinforcement designs, and integrate and cross-verify our proprietary database "GEODAS" with field measurement values to construct high-precision structural evidence. While perfectly ensuring structural safety, we significantly reduce unnecessary foundation construction costs and material expenses, strongly assisting in maximizing the cost performance of the entire construction project.
