Geotechnical Investigation
Geotechnical investigation stands as the cornerstone of our projects, ensuring their stability and longevity. This meticulous process involves a sequence of strategic steps, each contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the ground conditions that underpin your project's success.
Borings: Our geotechnical experts skillfully conduct borings, extracting soil and rock samples from various depths. These samples provide invaluable insights into the soil's composition, structure, and engineering properties.
Laboratory Tests: The extracted samples undergo a battery of laboratory tests. These tests include soil classification, compaction tests, shear strength analysis, and permeability assessments. The results guide the subsequent stages of design and engineering.
In-Situ Tests: We go beyond the laboratory by conducting in-situ tests directly at the project site. Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) and Cone Penetration Tests (CPT) help us understand soil behavior under different conditions and depths.
Instrumentation and Monitoring: To ensure the long-term stability of your project, we install instrumentation at critical points. This instrumentation provides real-time data on ground movements, water levels, and other key parameters. By monitoring these variables, we can identify any deviations and take proactive measures to prevent issues.
Geological and Geophysical Investigations: Understanding the geological history of the area is vital for risk assessment and foundation design. Our experts perform geological and geophysical investigations to map subsurface features, identify potential hazards, and determine soil properties at various depths.
Through these meticulous processes, we gain a comprehensive understanding of the ground beneath your project. This knowledge forms the basis for informed decision-making, ensuring the integrity and stability of your structures.
