Foundations fail when the ground beneath them is misread, and remedial work costs far more than the site investigation that would have prevented it. This course connects geotechnical investigation to foundation design and construction, covering soil behaviour, site investigation methods, foundation selection and the supervision of piling, excavation and earthworks on South African ground conditions.
Site engineers, civil and structural technicians, clerks of works, foundation subcontractors and project managers on building and civil projects.
