Engineering Survey Russia: Types and Range of Application
From year to year the cities of Russia have been developed and lined up with new buildings. No wonder that the territory development is currently becoming an important issue. Engineering survey in Russia is carried out to give a comprehensive study of various features of the built-up area as well as technically justify site development.
What engineering survey is being conducted?
Our company ‘GeoGIS’ offers engineering survey of any type. We conduct geodetic, geological, environmental surveys, etc. Every type of the survey is essential to determine the features of the site. Geodetic survey allows studying topographical relief. Geological survey is aimed at identifying texture of soil and finding out dangerous undersurface processes. Environmental survey makes it possible to study the state of the atmosphere before building and construction work begins.
It is not recommended to disregard engineering survey long before the beginning of site development. Sometimes as follows from the survey, we suggest to move construction to a new site because of the weak soil bearing capacity.
Civil engineering and surveying Russia not only helps to build a durable building, but also is compulsory for obtaining permit approval of site development. In case the survey report is not available, your chances to approve the document are minimized.
Why is it impossible to build a high-quality building without geodetic quality assurance and quality control?
Engineering survey in Russia is carried out before the planning documentation is accomplished. Geodetic survey is important from the beginning to the end of building and construction. Before starting building and construction, our engineers conduct a planning survey and compile topographical documentation, which later serves as the basis for a building project creation.
Geodetic works are also important while conducting engineering survey. According to design information, we monitor every building phase afield. We carry out pre-construction survey and compare the actual parameters of the structure with the design data. We conduct executive (revision) survey and draw up final documentation package of the building before facility commissioning.
Geological survey
Geological survey in Moscow helps to substantiate the possibility of site development and take steps to ensure that the building is protected against undersurface processes. While doing survey we study the thickness of rocks, soil bearing capacity, the hydrogeology of the site, sites subjected to dangerous processes.
We give maximum information about the structure of the soil. We present a report where we provide recommendations for site development, suitable foundation and measures to protect the building from geological processes.
Soil investigation is carried out not only during building and construction engineering. We are often referred to determine the causes of the destruction of a building before its reconstruction. In this case, we do not drill test holes, but dig prospect holes in order to study the state of the building foundation and estimate the scale of the destruction. If you disregard cooperative work with engineers, the building seem to fail again after restoration.
You can order a comprehensive survey of a site, for example, geodetic and geological work. The cost of such order will be lower as we offer a discount for a comprehensive survey.
Environmental survey at the construction site
We conduct ecology engineering survey in Moscow to assess the factors that worsen the ecology on the site and take constructive measures to preserve the greenery, purity of soil, water and air on the site.
Environmental survey is carried out before the start of building development, during construction process and after facility commissioning. Besides evaluating pollution conditions, we develop the following documentation as well:
- environment protection measures;
- measures for civil defense and emergencies;
- sanitary protection zone (for industrial buildings);
- environmental impact analysis.
The survey cost in our company ‘GeoGIS’
The survey cost depends on the type of the service and the workscope. To estimate the engineering survey we take in account:
- the type of the project order (the type and the number of problems to solve);
- the land area;
- the availability of archival records and project documentation;
- the time frame for submitting the technical statement;
- geological settings on the site (building density);
- the number of meters of drilling (while conducting geological survey).
We conduct engineering survey all over Russia, we do not include transportation costs in the total cost of services.
