Every safe building begins below the ground. Soil investigation, also called subsoil investigation, tells engineers exactly what they are building on.
What is a soil test?
A soil test involves boring into the ground, collecting samples and testing them in a laboratory. The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is the most common method used in Bangladesh.
What the report tells you
- Soil layers and their strength
- Bearing capacity for foundation design
- Ground water table level
- Settlement and liquefaction potential
Why you should never skip it
Designing a foundation without soil data is guesswork. Skipping the test can lead to cracks, tilting or even collapse. The small cost of a soil test protects a very large investment.
