Geotechnical Studies

Question 1

How long does the execution for geotechnical studies take?

Answer

Execution time varies greatly from soil to soil and county to county. Soft soils are drilled in 1-3 days, while hard rocks can require over a week.

Question 2

Are there hidden costs for geotechnical studies works?

Answer

A professional company will offer you a price per linear meter which usually includes: displacement, excavation, tubing (PVC), and filtering layer (gravel). Beware of offers that are substantially cheaper.

Question 3

What do I do if the water is not potable?

Answer

After any drilling, desanding and clearing are done, and only then is a sample taken for a public health analysis bulletin. If the water does not meet the standards, specific filtering or water softening systems can be installed at the entrance to the house.
