How a Lack of Awareness Affects People's Access to Water Before the Construction of a Building To many people, accessing water is the simplest and easiest. Due to that, people tend to neglect the importance of planning where they could locate their water wells before the construction of buildings. However, the importance of accessing water through Geophysical approach is consider inconsequential as a result of our familiarity with it. We often talk about how important it is in our daily lives. We often preach about it as "one part of our lives." We often discuss how we can't do without it, but we pay less attention to accessing it. In my years of experience as a groundwater specialist, I've seen people prioritise the construction of buildings over water while procrastinating their water well project until the completion of the building, believing it could be done after construction. Yes- some are lucky it works out due to favourable geology of the environment. I've also seen people with gigantic buildings wallowing in complaints as they couldn't access much water due to the unfavourable geology of the environment. It's high time we put our water first before construction. Strategic planning should be made by engineers before construction and the right experts, like geoscientists, in locating the right place to drill before construction. Water shouldn't be only discussed; it should be prioritised and valued in every aspect of construction.  #WaterAccess #ConstructionPlanning #Geoscience #GroundwaterSpecialist #GWYN #RWSN

The use of subsurface data can be crucial to reduce risk and boost confidence for consultants, contractors, and owners at every stage of the project workflow. It is important to understand how to integrate and visualize this data, interpret it effectively to aid geotechnical analysis, and manage geoscience data while collaborating to refine project design.

In drilling and subsurface exploration, rock and soil packer testing is essential for evaluating ground conditions. This helps us: 🌍 Assess Permeability: Measure how easily water flows through rock or soil, which is crucial for groundwater studies and drainage design. 💪 Evaluate Strength: Determine the strength and compaction of subsurface materials to support stable foundations and safe construction. 🔬 Identify Contaminant Pathways: Detect potential contaminant movement to safeguard environmental health. Overall, the data collected in rock and soil packer testing is analyzed to determine the permeability, strength, and other relevant properties of the rock or soil. This information is used to make informed decisions about site development, construction, and groundwater quantity and quality.

🏗️🌟 Are you striving for rock-solid foundation stability in your construction projects? Look no further! Geological investigations are the cornerstone of ensuring a sturdy and enduring foundation. Here are some key considerations you should not overlook: 1️⃣ Site Assessment: Understanding the soil types, groundwater levels, and potential geological hazards is crucial for laying a strong foundation. 2️⃣ Geotechnical Surveys: analyzing soil properties and assessing their bearing capacity, helps in designing appropriate foundation systems tailored to your site's unique conditions. 3️⃣ Risk Mitigation: Identify and mitigate potential risks such as subsidence, landslides, or soil liquefaction early in the planning phase. Proactive measures safeguard your project against costly setbacks and ensure safety throughout construction and beyond. 4️⃣ Consult Experts: Collaborate with experienced geologists and geotechnical engineers who specialize in foundation stability. Our expertise and insights can guide you in making informed decisions and implementing effective solutions. 🚀Are you ready to fortify your foundations? Let's build a future where every structure stands tall with confidence. www.jaffageos.com #FoundationStability #Construction #GeologicalInvestigations #GIS

It is always important to share notes with the engaged parties before and after the field investigations of groundwater. The sharing of notes is a focal point as you forge ahead to come up with concrete results. As a Groundwater Consultant, it is my duty to share with both the client and contractor of the #waterprojects so that they have clear insights of the aftermath of #geophysicalsuvery which had been conducted in the targeted areas or villages. You all be on the same side as you plan on the drilling process of the borehole. The better understanding means having a sustainable borehole which can last accordingly. There is no need to do shortcuts during the water survey as that will have a negative results hence making the whole project unsustainable. As we strive to fight for the #wateraccess to all we need to have a collaborative mindsets.
