LARGE CONSTRUCTIONS
Both during the development and building phase, it is essential to proper diagnosis the soil. Classic geotechnical investigation should then support continuous geophysical surveys. In this matter comes with the help a variety of methods, the choice of which is dependent on geotechnical and terrain conditions. For the large building construction, where the area had already been built-up in the past, and the ground may persist remnants of foundations and other infrastructure, which is a danger to the proper foundation of new facilities, it is important to recognize and mark such an areas and take that into consideration during redesigning phase. To the best methods for detect objects you may include ground penetrating radar. If the soil is preferred and there is no an increase of damping and disturbing GPR signal, we have available a range of antennas with variable parameters range and resolution. Such research is usually performed in the initial phase of the project but also can be used during unexpected cases. Using the GPR surveys can subsequently identify suitable sites for geotechnical surveys point.

At the construction stage, it is possible thanks to the detailing of geological information by geophysical gravimetric and seismic research. Gravimetry is indicated for large, flat areas, and the result of those surveys are distribution of density anomalies maps. This is not a depth method, where we can point anomalies in a different depth, and it is necessary to verify gravity anomalies using the seismic method. The result of seismic survey are cross-sections with wanted depth axis.
