The Importance of Soil Testing
The ground beneath your feet is often overlooked, but it's a critical factor in the success of any construction project. Soil testing provides invaluable insights into the ground's composition, stability, and potential challenges.
Old buildings in Frankfurt
On a recent trip to Frankfurt, Anita observed the difference in old and new construction in the city. Frankfurt has particular challenges due to the Frankfurt Clay underlying most of the city, sometimes up to 100m deep. This clay level means that buildings can settle and move if their foundations are not appropriate for the site.
Soil testing before construction means that we can select the appropriate foundations for your site.
New buildings in Frankfurt
Understanding your soil's properties is essential for designing and building a structurally sound foundation. Soil testing can reveal crucial information about factors such as load-bearing capacity and drainage. Soil testing is required for all new buildings as it provides the basis for foundation designs. Inadequate soil testing can lead to a range of problems, including structural damage, foundation failure, and increased construction costs. To mitigate these risks, it's essential to engage the services of qualified professionals.
