Maaperäselvitykset
Maaperäselvitykset, meaning soil investigations or site investigations, are crucial processes in construction and land development. They involve systematically examining the soil and bedrock at a proposed construction site to understand its properties and suitability. The primary goal is to identify potential risks and challenges associated with the ground conditions, such as weak soil layers, high groundwater levels, or the presence of contaminants.
These investigations typically begin with desk studies, reviewing existing geological maps and previous reports. Following this,
The data gathered from maaperäselvitykset forms the basis for engineering designs. It informs decisions regarding foundation
