Hidden Dangers in Belarusian Foundations: Why Geo-Surveys are Crucial

Construction in Belarus: Why Geological Surveys Matter Even for Monolithic Slabs. Building a house is a significant undertaking, requiring careful planning and attention to detail. In Belarus, a popular foundation choice is the monolithic slab. While strong, unforeseen ground conditions can compromise even the sturdiest foundation. A recent video by sergey_maltoss highlights the importance of geological surveys even with this foundation type. "Even with a monolithic slab, which is the best and most economical option, geological surveys are crucial," explains sergey_maltoss in his video. He points out that unexpected peat deposits can weaken the foundation, necessitating their removal. Ignoring this can lead to costly repairs later. This underscores the need for thorough site preparation before any construction begins, ensuring a stable and long-lasting structure.
