We conduct comprehensive site investigations to assess the subsurface conditions, including soil composition, groundwater behavior, and rock strength. These investigations form the foundation for engineering design, helping prevent costly surprises during construction.
-> Soil sampling and classification (SPT, CPT, auger drilling) -> Rock core drilling and logging -> In-situ testing (CBR, DCP, permeability tests) -> Groundwater table measurement and monitoring
Our geotechnical engineers analyze collected data to provide foundation recommendations tailored to your project. Whether shallow or deep foundations, we consider load-bearing capacity, settlement behavior, and environmental impact to ensure a safe and sustainable build.
-> Shallow foundations (strip, pad, raft) -> Pile foundations and retaining structures -> Slope stability analysis and remedial measures -> Settlement prediction and mitigation
In areas prone to erosion or slope movement, we provide detailed assessments to identify potential failures and recommend stabilization techniques.
-> Geological hazard mapping -> Stability modeling using geotechnical software -> Design of retaining walls and embankments -> Ground reinforcement and erosion control solutions
For road infrastructure, we carry out specialized pavement subgrade evaluations to optimize materials, reduce long-term maintenance, and extend road lifespan.
-> Soil compaction testing -> CBR and LAA tests -> Pavement layer recommendations -> Drainage and erosion mitigation design
We offer monitoring solutions to track soil and structure behavior during and after construction.
-> Settlement plates, inclinometers, piezometers -> Real-time data collection and interpretation -> Risk management during excavation or tunneling
