Civil Engineering Site Investigation is a process in which the physical qualities of a site are evaluated in order to determine if a site is suitable and safe for a proposed purpose. In the characterisation of a site, geosystems’ employs three methods namely;
We ensure that the ground investigation is designed and implemented correctly to meet the project requirements. Where necessary, our multi-disciplined teams are able to integrate the scope of works to cover both geotechnical and environmental concerns in order to provide a technically robust and cost-effective site investigation solution.
Site investigation is required to determine the engineering properties of soil and rock and how they will interact with a planned development. The purpose of site investigation is to establish parameters for foundation and substructure design; and to assess the potential contamination risks to humans, property and the environment.
We provide factual and interpretive reports. Ground Investigation Reports (GIR) and Geotechnical Design Reports (GDR) are provided to meet Ghana Institute of Engineers (GhIE) standards and international best practices. We have established a reputation for analysing the problem and delivering solutions.
Projects;
The purpose of a site investigation is to identify the ground conditions which might affect the proposed development. It enables a better understanding of the site and immediate surroundings, which will enable safe and economic developments.
Feasibility studies, planning, design, and construction all require reliable and relevant data about the ground conditions of a potential site. A site investigation is an overall process for the collection of information, appraisal of data, assessment, and reporting. This data must be gained competently, in a timely manner and to a degree which is adequate and appropriate to each stage of design and development. In this way risk and liability are minimized, the potential for economic and safe design is maximized and the project is more likely to be completed on time and within budget.
