Geological Structures and Features

Analysis of Soil 

Before constructing an abattoir building, the quality of soil should be examined carefully. The soil should be able to bear the load of structure. It should be suitable for good foundations including piling. Sandy and rock soil as found side by the river is considered unsuitable for good foundations. Similarly area with rock soil is also not a preferred one. 

Level of Site 

The site for an abattoir should be at a higher level compared to its surroundings. It is to prevent accumulation of water around the plant and surroundings. Moreover, location of abattoir at higher level facilitates proper drainage of waste water/effluent water. Lodging of water acts as breeding site for flies, insects etc.
