When it comes to construction, what’s below the surface can be just as important as what’s above. Geotechnical investigations are a cornerstone of safe and cost-effective infrastructure development. At Mamino Engineering, we provide advanced geotechnical solutions to guide smart construction decisions across Lesotho.

What Are Geotechnical Investigations?
These investigations involve analyzing the physical properties of soil and rock beneath a proposed construction site. Our work includes drilling boreholes, conducting soil testing, and producing detailed reports that inform foundation design, load capacity, and construction techniques.

Why They’re Essential

Preventing Structural Failures: Weak or unstable ground can lead to cracks, collapses, and costly repairs.
Cost Management: Early analysis helps avoid expensive design changes mid-project.
Regulatory Compliance: Geotechnical reports are often required by planning authorities.

Our Approach

-> Site reconnaissance and subsurface profiling
-> Standard penetration and cone penetration testing (SPT & CPT)
-> Laboratory soil classification and strength testing
-> Engineering recommendations for foundation and earthwork design

Applications
We’ve supported the construction of bridges, roads, tunnels, water tanks, and commercial buildings. Whether the terrain is mountainous, clay-rich, or sandy, we tailor our recommendations to local conditions for long-lasting results.

Engineering with Confidence
With Mamino Engineering, you’re not just building structures—you’re building peace of mind. Let us help lay the groundwork for your next successful project.
