We count them in 5 points.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<ol>\r\n<li><strong>Consider the storage of materials<\/strong>. Ideally, they should be stored indoors and in a dry place. This with the purpose of avoiding the deterioration of the geosynthetic packaging.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<ol start=\"2\">\r\n<li><strong>At the time of locating and setting out on the ground. <\/strong>An adequate location of the wall is recommended, taking into account its three dimensions: height, depth and length. Place a strong emphasis on the slope of the face so that you can pinpoint the building&#039;s origin point on the slope.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><strong>\u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/geomatrix.co\/sites\/default\/files\/blog\/Al%20momento%20de%20realizar%20la%20localizacion.jpg%3Fwidth%3D416%26name%3DAl%20momento%20de%20realizar%20la%20localizacion.jpg\" alt=\"Al momento de realizar la localizacion.jpg\" width=\"416\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<ol start=\"3\">\r\n<li><strong>Regarding excavation and earthworks, consider the following:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Choose the right team by estimating the size of the project.
