| Description | Environmental issues are major concerns in the surveying and construction industry. Action is possible in many areas throughout built environment professions, and for surveying professionals, environmental matters can be a consideration (major or minor) in most work situations. This chapter covers some of the naturally occurring environmental issues common in the work of a building surveyor. The building's foundations are designed to transmit loads to the ground without movement that affects the stability of the buildings. When loads are placed on the ground, the ground will resist the force and compress, but where the foundations are sufficient, taking the loads to ground that can sustain the loads, the compression is minimal and does not affect the stability or compromise the integrity of the building. Ground instability can be a result of human activity or natural processes. Landslip on sloping sites can occur where there have been little or no changes to the ground.
