OUR SERVICES
Soil Investigation & Geotechnical Consultant
Soil investigation is a form of site exploration involving soil sampling and soil testing on site to obtain geotechnical data. The obtained data commonly used for a secure geotechnical evaluation and design.
As experts in soil investigation and geotechnical consulting, the service includes in-depth site exploration with soil sampling and field testing. The data obtained forms the basis for safe geotechnical evaluation and design, ensuring that every construction project stands on a solid and reliable foundation.
Our soil investigations typically cover:
- Boring or Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
- Cone Penetration Test (CPT, also known as sondir)
- Undisturbed Sampling (UDS)
- Ground Penetration Radar (GPR)
- Dig trial pit
- Laboratory Tests for index properties and engineering properties
- Foundation recommendation in accordance to the soil bearing capacity
- Land satellite contouring
Why Soil Investigations important?
Soil investigation is crucial for any construction project, especially for buildings and infrastructure. Understanding the soil conditions helps engineers design appropriate foundations that can support the structure effectively and prevent settlement issues.
It helps identify potential hazards such as expansive soils, collapsible soils, or areas prone to liquefaction during seismic events, allowing developers to make informed decisions about site selection and design. By identifying soil properties and potential risks early on, soil investigation enables engineers to develop strategies to mitigate those risks.
Understanding soil properties is essential for ensuring the safety and stability of structures. Soil investigation helps identify potential risks such as landslides, sinkholes, or soil erosion, allowing engineers to implement appropriate measures to mitigate these risks and ensure the safety of occupants and nearby communities.
