Construction and engineering surveys involve the investigation of detailed geological conditions and environmental characteristics of the construction site. The survey must include geophysical methods and engineering investigation techniques. This is crucial in ensuring that building structures are safe, stable, and environmentally sustainable.
This exploration provides engineers with information about soil properties, rock characteristics, water level heights, and geological structures. In addition, other hazards underground are extremely important for subsequent engineering design and construction. It is the first step in engineering risk mitigation, and in addition to this, construction and engineering exploration is also important for the country’s economic development.
Correct exploration results can avoid geological disasters such as landslides, ground subsidence, and earthquake damage; therefore, it is to protect life and property. Other benefits include the acceleration of infrastructure projects to support rapid urbanization and industrialization,
Economic Development
With the development of globalization and urbanization, the demand for infrastructure is increasing. Usually, accurate geological exploration is carried out before infrastructure construction, which directly affects two major aspects: cost control and implementation efficiency.
For example, in a high-speed rail project in China, accurate geological exploration avoided multiple geological hazards in advance, and successfully reduced a large number of engineering modifications and rework, thereby saving costs and accelerating the project schedule.
Safety and Stability
Accurate exploration activities help identify underground caves, unstable soil layers, and landslide possibilities, which are very important in geological and environmental risks and are crucial for the safety and stability of construction projects.
ment project in California, even with the most detailed geological exploration, found an unstable slope that could be repaired by making some design changes, thus avoiding landslide hazards.
Environmental Factors
Part of the research exploration includes construction and engineering, which covers the consideration of environmental factors. These are environmental impact assessments of factors such as soil erosion, hydrological changes, and ecosystem damage. This will provide guidance on protective measures for any sustainable development construction project that needs to be implemented.
In a large mining development project in Australia, one of the environmental surveys is to evaluate the impact of mining on nearby ecosystems. This has helped the company develop environmental protection measures and ecological restoration plans.
