Geotechnical Engineering

Our Geotechnical Engineering services form the backbone of our operations. With a rich history of successfully completing over 2500 major projects, we offer comprehensive solutions that address the unique challenges of soil and rock mechanics. Our team’s in-depth knowledge and innovative approach ensure the stability and safety of foundations, retaining structures, and other geotechnical aspects critical to the success of any construction project.

1. Field Investigations: These are the initial steps where geotechnical engineers assess the site conditions. They might conduct soil borings, test pits, and geophysical surveys to understand the subsurface characteristics. This information is vital for designing foundations, retaining walls, and other structures.

2. Field Testing: Field tests help gather data directly from the site. Common tests include standard penetration tests (SPT), cone penetration tests (CPT), and plate load tests. These provide valuable insights into soil properties and behavior.

3. Laboratory Testing & Analysis: Back in the lab, geotechnical engineers analyze soil and rock samples. They perform tests like grain size analysis, consolidation tests, direct shear tests, and triaxial tests. These results guide foundation design and construction methods.

4. Foundation Consultancy: Designing foundations is a critical aspect of geotechnical engineering. Whether it’s shallow foundations (like spread footings) or deep foundations (such as piles or caissons), your expertise ensures that structures are well-supported and can withstand loads.
