Diagnostic Studies
A previous survey of the site and soil analysis are of the utmost importance during the study, project design and construction stages. The results of these studies will determine the best solutions for ensuring adequacy, accuracy, building quality and safety, and environmental protection.
The success of a project depends on a solid, reliable, scalable base, which entails a sound assessment of the various elements by specialists. At Engexpor, topographical and building surveys are based on cutting-edge technologies and integrated in a building information model (BIM) that constitutes the backbone of the project and an effective management tool.
The geological and geotechnical characteristics of soils are equally important at the diagnostic stage, providing key information to determine soil integrity, building conditions and the most adequate structural foundation. The assessment conducted by our technical team, which includes specialists of recognised experience and expertise, is a guarantee of quality and safety.
Diagnostic studies also include an environmental assessment, based on historic or building project data, such as to determine the eventual presence of harmful materials, waste or dangerous substances.
The desktop study may be complemented by surveys, tests and laboratory analyses, should any of the elements identified require an in-depth investigation, namely to ascertain the presence of potential contamination.
