Dressing Down With Geotechnical Drilling

Dressing Down With Geotechnical Drilling


by Patricia White


If there was one animal that can lay claim to being the undisputed ruler of literally everything above the water and below the sky, it is humanity. The thing about humans is that environments that most of them live are anything but natural. High rise buildings with climate control are unnatural. No, most other animals need to just deal with whatever nature throws at them. But not humankind. No, human beings decided that being hit with all the crap nature had up its sleeve was far too inconvenient. Then it started erecting buildings. But before that, the land has to be examined first, generally through geotechnical drilling Nova Scotia.

Geotechnical drilling is a form of drilling that is done before any kind of construction project begins. It is when qualified engineers go out on to a site and then inspect it. The engineers who conduct the inspection may also be able to offer other types of services.

Now, the reason it is done is simple. Before a project begins, the land it is supposed to stand on needs to be able to support the resulting structure. Which means it has to be inspected thoroughly beforehand.

There is some equipment involves, some of it requiring special skills to operate, some that do not. There is the truck, which is used in order to bring the other tools to and from the site of the project. Then the main bit of equipment is the probe. Now, the probe resembles a guillotine. Unlike the guillotine, it does not execute people, but instead drills into the ground and record data.

Nothing comes for free. Anyone who renders labor, sells a good, or provides a service is going to rightfully expect some form of compensation. Not only will the equipment used in the process cost quite a bit of money, though it should be noted that the client likely will not have to purchase the equipment, the people who actually work those tools are also going to want to be paid for their time. Which is why clients should be ready to dole out a check or two.

If there is risk, then something is not being done right. When the probe is properly maintained and responsibly used, then it should function as intended. As such, if someone dies or is hurt, then there was a misstep somewhere in the planning process.

The steps are fairly straightforward. First, the equipment is taken to the site. Then the probe is retrieved from the truck. Once the probe is erected, it is then operated. The main thrust is that drill goes down and penetrates the ground. This is then how data is extracted.

A solid foundation is of paramount importance. This is especially true for any structure larger than an outhouse. If the ground a structure is built on is unstable, then the resulting building itself will be unstable. Geotechnical drilling is an effective means to test whether or not the ground is fine for construction projects.

No one desires to live outside. Most people do not want to die either. So, when structures are built, precautions should be taken.
