title = "Site Preparation and Soil Investigation"

content = """
Site preparation forms the foundation of every building project. Before any
construction begins, a thorough soil investigation informs foundation design
and risk mitigation. In the Netherlands, soil conditions vary widely: soft
peat and clay in coastal and polder regions require different approaches
than sandy or reclaimed port land.

**Soil Investigation:** Geotechnical boreholes and cone penetration tests
(CPT) determine soil stratification, bearing capacity, and groundwater
levels. Report findings guide pile design, dewatering requirements, and
excavation support. For Delta Haven projects in the Rijnmond area, expect
layers of sand, soft clay, and peat—each with distinct behavior under load.

**Site Clearance:** Remove vegetation, existing structures, and obstructions.
Verify underground utilities via utility mapping (KLIC melding) before
excavation to prevent damage and safety incidents.

**Temporary Facilities:** Establish site offices, welfare facilities, and
storage areas. Ensure adequate power, water, and drainage for construction
phase operations.
