Building site investigation

Essential steps:

  • Research in files, archives and literature
  • Drawing up and agreeing upon an investigation programme
  • Conducting drilling, sounding, digging and other exploration work
  • Conducting soil-mechanical and environmental laboratory tests
  • Evaluating and assessing the results in project-specific expert opinions with recommendations for the design

BFM’s experienced team of engineers and geologists will take over the complete conception, organisation and processing of the building site investigation for your project – for projects and tasks of all sizes.

Here, the team can draw on the institution’s own laboratory with qualified sounding crews and reliable subcontractors for core drilling, etc.

Building site investigation

A project-specific investigation of the building site and groundwater conditions forms the basic foundation for a safe and economical structure foundation.

A project-specific investigation of the building site and groundwater conditions forms the basis of a safe and economical structure foundation.
Misjudging the conditions can lead to disastrous consequences and/or generate significant additional costs for the building owner, since he generally bears what is known as the building site risk.
Using building site investigation as a basis makes it possible to detect the risks in advance and to optimise costs for the structure foundation.
