What We Do
Our ground investigations are designed to reveal the subsurface characteristics that affect your project. We focus on:
Groundwater Assessment
Measuring and analyzing groundwater levels and flow to determine its impact on design and construction.
Laboratory Testing
Conducting comprehensive tests to evaluate soil behavior, strength, and suitability for construction.
Soil Sampling
Collecting representative samples to analyze soil properties and composition.
By providing accurate and detailed data, we empower engineers and developers to create optimized, resilient designs tailored to the unique conditions of your site.
Our Key Services
Soil Sampling
Accurate soil sampling is the foundation of effective ground investigation:
- In-Situ Collection: Using specialized equipment, our technicians collect soil samples from various depths and locations.
- Representative Sampling: We ensure that the samples represent the overall soil profile, reducing uncertainty in the data.
- Detailed Logging: Each sample is meticulously documented, including location, depth, and visible characteristics.
Laboratory Testing
Our state-of-the-art laboratory testing provides a thorough analysis of soil properties:
- Physical & Chemical Analysis: Tests such as grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, moisture content, and pH levels help determine soil suitability.
- Strength & Stability Testing: Evaluations such as compaction tests, shear strength, and consolidation tests inform foundation design and stability.
- Environmental Testing: Assessments to detect contaminants or other factors that could affect construction and sustainability.
Groundwater Assessment
Understanding groundwater conditions is crucial for safe design and construction:
- Water Level Monitoring: We measure groundwater levels across different seasons to understand variability and potential impact.
- Hydrogeological Studies: Detailed investigations to assess the flow, recharge, and discharge areas, providing insight into the site’s water table dynamics.
- Impact Analysis: Evaluating the potential influence of groundwater on soil behavior, construction techniques, and long-term durability.
