4 Key Benefits of Front-End Site Investigation
Here at ATROX we believe front-end site investigation is the key to a successful project. Here are 4 key benefits you will gain from increasing the site investigation on your next project.
Reduced Cost - Upfront site investigations lead to a more accurate understanding of ground conditions reducing uncertainty and the need to over-compensate by over-engineering foundations.
Increased Safety - Site investigation can expose potential risk factors that may lead to geotechnical failures. By exposing these risks early engineers can then adequately adjust the project to suit. Averting the potential loss of lives and property.
Reduced Carbon Footprint - An accurate site design as a result of proper site investigation results in less over-engineering which means less concrete and reinforcement used. As concrete has large environmental impacts this is a win for the environment.
Accurate Budget - Site investigation will identify any problem areas that need to be addressed, allowing for adequate risk mitigation and reducing problems in the future. This will aid in preventing unexpected project delays such as when the real conditions are discovered and additional resources are required.
