Geotechnical & Foundation Engineering

Our geotechnical investigation works provide critical subsurface data essential for secure and sustainable infrastructure development. We rigorously apply British Standard protocols (BS 5930:1999) for comprehensive soil, rock, and foundation investigations.

Project Assessment & Analysis

We conduct comprehensive site investigations and data analysis to thoroughly assess project feasibility and client requirements. This phase ensures a data-driven understanding crucial for informed decision-making.

Project Design & Execution

Following assessment, we develop and refine precise project designs, incorporating advanced modeling and tailored solutions. Our goal is to optimize efficiency, sustainability, and compliance before physical implementation.

Our advanced equipment supports a full spectrum of tests, including rotary core drilling, dynamic cone penetration, and detailed laboratory analysis, ensuring safe, reliable, and cost-effective construction. We specialize in providing foundational insights for diverse structures, from multi-story buildings and bridges to critical water infrastructure and complex civil engineering projects.

What’s the procedure?

  • Project Scope Definition: Understand the proposed structure or project type (e.g., building, bridge, dam) and specific foundation requirements.
  • Site Investigation Planning: Design a detailed investigation plan, including boreholes, test pits, and in-situ tests (like DCPT) based on project scale and site conditions.
  • Field Investigations: Execute on-site drilling, sampling (e.g., rotary core drilling), and in-situ testing following British Standard protocols (BS 5930:1999).
  • Laboratory Analysis: Conduct comprehensive laboratory testing of collected soil and rock samples to determine their engineering properties.
  • Geotechnical Report Generation: Prepare a detailed report outlining subsurface conditions, analysis of findings, and precise recommendations for foundation design and construction.
