Site Analysis, Earthworks & Foundations
Before structural assembly begins, exhaustive geotechnical surveys assess soil bearing capacity, water table levels, and seismic vulnerability. Earthworks involve controlled excavation, site grading, and soil stabilization. Depending on load distribution and soil dynamics, foundation strategies prioritize:
Deep Foundations: Bored concrete piles and micro-piles anchored into bedrocks for heavy load-bearing towers.
Shallow Foundations: Reinforced concrete mat/raft foundations to distribute uniform loads over larger surface areas.
Sub-surface Drainage: Geotextile membranes and perimeter French drains to prevent water hydrostatic pressure build-up around foundation walls.
