TEST THE GROUND BEFORE YOU BUILD John Sutton, Marketing Manager at ELE International, explains the importance of accurately testing the soil at a potential construction site to avoid costly repercussions once building has begun. Thorough investigation and testing prior to construction is essential to ensure that a completed building is both safe and structurally sound. In particular, obtaining an understanding of the properties of soil at a construction site enables the level of uncertainty associated with a build to be minimised.

TESTING THE GROUND Accurate testing and analysis of soil as an engineering material is crucial to the success of a wide range of construction projects. John Sutton, Marketing Manager at ELE International, a leading supplier of construction materials testing and environmental instrumentation, explains how the latest technology is complementing traditional testing methods to offer benefits to both ground engineers and construction companies.

TESTING IS ESSENTIAL John Sutton, Marketing Manager at ELE International, highlights the importance of thorough and accurate concrete testing in tunnelling projects, in order to avoid potentially disastrous failures. The versatility of concrete ensures that it is chosen time and time again for major tunnelling projects. However, this feature makes thorough and accurate testing essential, as without the correct testing processes in place, the almost infinite range of variables in the properties of a mix can result in inconsistent tolerances and compromised safety.
