Geotechnical Surveys

​set of activities aimed at investigating the properties of soil masses as a foundation for structures or as a host environment for underground utilities and communications. 

​Geotechnical surveys play a key role in the construction process. They minimize geological risks such as shrinkage, collapse, and landslides. This is especially important in complex soil and hydrogeological conditions where standard solutions may not be effective. 

​Geotechnical surveys are a fundamental design phase aimed at investigating the engineering and geological conditions of a site. These studies provide a reliable basis for making justified decisions when designing foundations and other structural elements of structures. Without well-conducted geotechnical survays, it is impossible to ensure the safety and durability of construction projects. They help identify potential risks and minimize their impact on the project.  

​This type of survey involves the creation of a mathematical model that considers not only soil properties, but also geological and man-made processes that may occur at the site under the influence of external factors. What we focus on in geotechnical surveys:

​Study of soil properties

​Determining the physical and mechanical properties of soils and studying the composition and structure of soil layers.  

​Evaluation of hydrogeological conditions 

​Surveying the level and dynamics of groundwater and determine the permeability and chemical composition of water.  

​Determination of soil stability 

​Surveying of the bearing capacity of soils and analysis of the potential for shrinkage, collapse and landslides. 

​The results of geotechnical surveys form the basis for the design of foundations, slopes, and other structural elements of buildings. They make it possible to develop optimal solutions for the design of foundations and slopes, prevent possible deformations and destruction, and ensure the safety and durability of objects.  

​Geotechnical surveys play an important role in the construction process, providing a reliable basis for the design and construction of buildings and structures. The DorProekt Institute offers complex geotechnical surveys, which guarantee high quality and accuracy of results. By relying on professionals, you gain confidence in the safety and durability of your project.
