WHAT WE DO

Our Soil Testing & Geotechnical Services

We provide soil investigation and testing services to help understand ground conditions before construction. Our services support engineers, builders, contractors and property owners with useful soil data for foundation planning and construction decisions.

Soil investigation and soil sample collection at a construction site

01

FIELD INVESTIGATION

Soil Investigation

Soil investigation is an important step before starting any construction project. It helps identify the nature, composition and condition of the soil beneath the proposed building area. Understanding the ground condition allows engineers to make informed decisions about foundation requirements and structural planning.

Our investigation process involves site inspection, identifying suitable testing locations, collecting soil samples at selected depths and examining different soil layers. The collected samples can be evaluated for characteristics such as soil type, moisture content, density and other relevant properties.

The findings provide useful information for residential buildings, apartments, commercial structures and other construction projects.

Standard Penetration Test soil testing at a construction site

IN-SITU TESTING

Standard Penetration Test (SPT)

The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is a commonly used field test in geotechnical investigation to assess the resistance of soil against penetration at different depths. It provides important information about subsurface soil conditions and helps engineers evaluate the ground for construction purposes.

During the test, a standard split-spoon sampler is driven into the soil using a specified hammer arrangement. The number of blows required for the prescribed penetration is recorded as the penetration resistance, commonly expressed as the N-value.

SPT results, together with soil samples and other investigation findings, help geotechnical and structural engineers assess soil properties and consider suitable foundation design options.

OUR EXPERTISE

Additional Testing Services

Supporting construction projects with essential soil evaluation, testing and technical information.

03

Plate Load Test

Plate Load Testing is a field-based test used to evaluate the load-settlement behaviour of soil at the proposed foundation level. A steel plate is placed on the prepared ground and subjected to controlled loading while settlement is measured. The results help engineers assess the soil response under applied pressure and support foundation design evaluations.

04

Soil Laboratory Testing

Laboratory testing helps determine the physical and engineering properties of collected soil samples. Depending on project requirements, tests may include moisture content, density, grain-size distribution, Atterberg limits and other relevant evaluations. These results provide technical information about the soil for further engineering assessment.

05

Soil Bearing Capacity (SBC)

Soil Bearing Capacity refers to the ability of soil to support loads transferred through a building foundation. Evaluating bearing capacity is an important part of construction planning. Soil investigation and relevant test results help engineers determine suitable design parameters and assess the ground's capacity to support the proposed structure.

06

Geotechnical Investigation Report

A geotechnical investigation report presents the findings of field investigations and applicable laboratory tests. It may include soil descriptions, test observations, sample details, groundwater information where assessed, and relevant engineering parameters. The report provides useful technical reference information for engineers involved in foundation and structural planning.

07

California Bearing Ratio (CBR) Test

The California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test evaluates the strength of soil used in road subgrades and pavement construction. The test measures the resistance of a prepared soil specimen to penetration under specified conditions. CBR values are useful in assessing subgrade performance and supporting pavement thickness and road construction design.

08

Construction Material Testing

Construction material testing helps assess the relevant properties and quality of materials used in building and infrastructure projects. Depending on the project scope, applicable testing can provide information about material strength, suitability and performance. Testing requirements can be selected according to project specifications and applicable technical standards.
