Undestanding The Lay Of The Land Is Essential For Safety Of The Vertical Construction

The land survey is the first and the most important step for the safety and reliability of the project that is going to come up the land meant for survery . The safety for years to come and safety of the adjoining buildings depend on the land survey report by the experienced agency .

The land survey encompasses boundary measurement of the particular land , details of the property such a presence of buildings , pathways , sidewalks , fences , stumps , trees , and other such features . The encroachment , legal or illegal possession of land by other persons or agencies will also form the land survey report .

It is an essential land survey professionals to come and assess the land before the start of the construction . The first job of the Land Surveying agencies is to see the topography of the land . The land survey will bring out , which side of the land is liable to collapse during heavy rain . The land survey will also decide the which part of the land is not susceptible to flooding etc . There are many issues , which may not be obvious like covered wells below the ground level , these features can damage the foundation of the vertical structure , that is why , it is important to know the features below the ground .

The complete land survey report wil show whether the land is safe for the building purposes . The necessity of certain pre- construction works like filling some wall or hole in the ground and building retaining wall will also be known only after the land survey report .

The correct land survey combined with the soil investigation report will determine the weight bearing capacity of the soil . The materials used in the construction of the vertical structure will also depend on the soil investigation and land survey report . The land survey also helps the person to know the land that he or she is buying .

The Pile Foundation is the result of the soil investigation report , which itself is the next important step for the builders . The soil investigation shows the chemical and physical composition of the soil and help in deciding the type of pile foundation that will be inserted into the ground for taking the weight of the vertical structure . Then , one of the pile foundation , end bearing , or friction pile will be used for the construction purposes .
