We compile your ground and foundation report.

  • Description of subsurface conditions, and geotechnical and soil mechanics assessment of strata
  • Description of hydrological conditions and their impact and the proposed construction project
  • Information on soil parameters for geotechnical analyses
  • Classification of encountered strata to DIN 18196, 18300 and classification of frost resistance
  • Discussion of foundation options giving the allowable soil pressure or pile load.

GROUND INVESTIGATION REPORTS

The ground investigation, laboratory and field tests are necessary for determining foundation-relevant soil mechanics parameters.

Compilation of a relevant ground investigation report and an economical and safe foundation recommendation also requires the engineer to have wide-ranging experience in geological, hydrogeological, geotechnical and structural matters.

FOUNDATION RECOMMENDATION

  • Formulation of the special foundation procedure
  • Notes on execution of the excavation and any excavation stabilisation and water management
  • Information on slopes and any stabilisation that may be necessary
  • Representation of the investigation results from boreholes, probes, field and laboratory tests
  • Water management measures
  • Information on possible impacts on neighbouring buildings
