News of a second sinkhole opening in Godstone, UK indicates that groundwork issues like this are becoming more prevalent. Civil engineering and building failures can be the result of geotechnical issues, which may stem from errors or omissions at the different stages of the project, including ground investigation, design, and construction. It remains crucial to investigate the suitability of ground conditions prior to the design of any construction project. Ground investigations enable the necessary information to be gathered about the ground below the site to allow an economic active design to take place. Such investigations will often allow for a cheaper design and construction phase, identifying a hazard such as a sinkhole, which would cost many times the price of the ground investigation to put right after construction. Chartered Civil Engineer and Geotechnical Expert, Andrew Reeves, discusses the importance of investigating the suitability of ground conditions prior to the design of any construction project in his article '𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘍𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘴'. Andrew explains how these investigations enable the necessary information to be gathered about the ground below, ensuring an economic and effective design take place.

Mission Accomplished! This job took us 4 miles off the beaten path to a remote site on one of the highest peaks in Kentucky for a communication network company. Despite tough drilling conditions through weathered rock, the team achieved 95%+ rock core recovery along the entire borehole—ensuring the new tower will be securely anchored. Outstanding work in extreme conditions. Proud of the team’s dedication and precision! #RemoteAccess #DrillingSuccess #CoreRecovery #CommunicationNetwork #Teamwork #MountainMission #SolidFoundation #GeotechnicalExcellence #KentuckyPeaks
