Case Study: Mitigating Geotechnical Risks Early to Prevent Delays & Cost Overruns
10:30 am
- Identifying early warning signs in geotechnical reports across Eastern markets that signal the need for ground improvements
- Evaluating how regional constraints like wetlands, floodplains, and brownfield sites impact foundation design, buildability, and schedule risk
- Managing how complex ground conditions influence key design decisions, including shallow vs deep foundations and single vs multi-story builds
- Avoiding late-stage surprises by strengthening upfront site investigations and aligning hyperscalers, colocators, geotech consultants, and contractors early
