It’s a normal reaction to over view a problem from all possible angles so as to have a variety of solutions to choose from while resolving it and in order to avoid unforeseen mistakes in a future. This same aspect is applied in civil engineering under the name site investigation.

MINIMISE DAMAGES Site investigation helps you to foresee and correct some soil or environmental defects at the site hence minising damages.

Helps Determine the Construction Materials Site investigation helps us to determine without a doubt which materials is best for our construction.

Saves on Costs Site investigation helps to identify the problems and we can pick and the best safe and cheap solution. instead of realizing it later and spending more.

Increases the Safety of the Project Site investigation enables us to know if the site is safe for the workers and the project to be implemented. If not we can take extra safety measures.

Site investigation has 4 stages namely; Site Reconnaissance General site exploration Detailed site exploration Site investigation report.

Site Reconnaissance involves primary observations like; The location of the groundwater table. The presence of swamps, springs. The presence of any vegetation. The nature and composition of the soil.

Detailed exploration goes further than general site exploration and should be used when constructing major engineering projects and heavy structures. It involves on site tests like; Vane shear test and Plate load test laboratory test like ; Compressive strength test to identify exact soil properties and Permeability tests.
