Geotechnical Investigation Services
Our geotechnical scope includes both field and laboratory testing, beginning with site reconnaissance and progressing through borehole drilling, sampling and in-situ testing. We specialise in comprehensive geotechnical investigations that provide critical insights into subsurface conditions for infrastructure development, construction planning, and environmental assessment.
Our services are designed to support engineers, architects and developers in making informed decisions that ensure safety, stability and compliance with regulatory standards.
Field investigations focus on direct measurement and evaluation of soil behavior at the site to determine its suitability for construction.Field investigations involve on-site assessment of soil properties using techniques such as :
- Standard Penetration Tests (SPT)
- Cone Penetration Tests (CPT)
- Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) Tests
- Plate Load Tests
- In-site California Bearing Ratio (CBR) assessments
In the laboratory we conduct a wide range of tests to determine soil classification, compressibility, permeability and shear strength. These parameters are essential for foundation design and earthworks.
- Atterberg Limits
- Particle Size Distribution (PSD)
- Compaction (Proctor Tests)
- California Bearing Ratio (CBR)
- Oedometer (Consolidation)
- Triaxial Shear & Direct Shear Tests
Our team of experienced geotechnical engineers and technicians ensures that all investigations are carried out in accordance with international standards such as BS, ASTM and ISO/IEC 17025, as well as National standards, delivering reliable data and actionable recommendations. Whether for roads, bridges, buildings, or industrial facilities, our geotechnical services are tailored to meet the unique demands of each project.
