Construction Update – Soil Exploration

August 30, 2024

Current and ongoing construction activities at the Ladyface Greenway Project site include drilling for soil exploration work. Soil exploration is essential in bridge construction to determine the type and properties of the soil at the site, which is crucial for the safety and stability of the bridge structure. Over the next few weeks, you may experience occasional moderate noise from drilling equipment and machinery. This work will not impact vehicular traffic or pedestrian walkways. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to ensure the success of this project.

What is Soil Exploration?

Soil exploration is a critical process in construction that involves assessing the characteristics of the soil at a construction site. Here’s a brief overview of what it typically involves:
• Sampling: Soil samples are collected from various depths and locations on the site.
• Testing: Samples are analyzed in a lab to evaluate properties such as soil composition, strength, density, and moisture content.
• Drilling: Sometimes, drilling equipment is used to bore holes in the ground to extract soil samples from deeper layers.
• Analysis: The data gathered helps us understand the soil’s load-bearing capacity, drainage characteristics, and potential for settlement or expansion.

Current Construction Activities

  • Limited construction crews and vehicles on site.
  • Moderate disruption from construction noise and vibrations.
  • Dust will be monitored and controlled at all times.
