Site Investigation | Smart Foundation Explanation Techniques to Overcome Delivery Restrictions in Urban Small Lots

Cleared the delivery restrictions in urban areas with limited space! Identified a solid support layer at a depth of 30 meters through self-propelled ram investigation, smartly optimizing pile length and gaining the client's trust.

In the construction plan for a steel frame building on a small site in an urban area with densely packed adjacent buildings, restrictions on the delivery of large boring machines and the narrow frontage with neighboring properties pose significant challenges to obtaining accurate ground data. This document explains a smart foundation explanation technique utilizing "self-propelled ram sounding surveys" that measures continuous ground data up to a depth of 30 meters using a self-propelled compact machine with a total width of 830 mm, optimizing the length of steel pipe piles. GeoTech's fully automated measurement system breaks through hard strata with powerful penetration capability from an automatic drop hammer, extracting high-precision data that has a strong correlation with standard penetration test N values through continuous Nd value data and torque correction processing. By measuring multiple points within the site, the inclination of the bearing layer and localized uneven ground are visualized in three dimensions, thoroughly eliminating excessive pile length designs and unnecessary impact construction. By presenting clear structural justifications, we facilitate the building confirmation review and structural conformity assessment, strongly assisting in optimizing construction costs and ensuring high accountability to project owners and clients.
