Soil Classification and Systems
Overview of innovation
This system involves the process of taking soil samples from a potential building site, mixes it with water and then the sedimentation process is evaluated by a camera and analysed to determine how much clay is in the soil sample. This in turn will then provide the engineers with information on what type of foundation to use for construction on the building site.
