SERVICES
Geotechnical Investigation (On Shore & Off Shore)
Welcome to our company’s website, where we pride ourselves on providing comprehensive and reliable geotechnical investigation services. As a leader in the industry, we understand the critical role that a solid foundation plays in the success of any construction project. Whether you are planning a residential development, commercial complex, infrastructure project, or industrial facility, our geotechnical expertise will ensure that your venture is built on a strong and stable base.
What is Geotechnical Investigation?
Geotechnical investigation involves the study and analysis of soil, rock, and groundwater conditions at a construction site. It is a crucial step in the design and construction process, as it provides valuable insights into the site’s geological and geotechnical characteristics. By thoroughly evaluating the subsurface conditions, we can identify potential risks, assess the suitability of the site for construction, and recommend appropriate foundation design and ground improvement measures.
Our Geotechnical Investigation Services
At our company, we offer a comprehensive range of geotechnical investigation services tailored to meet the unique needs of each project. Our team of experienced geotechnical engineers and geologists utilize state-of-the-art equipment and industry-leading techniques to gather accurate data and provide reliable recommendations. Our services include:
- Site Investigation: We conduct detailed site investigations, including drilling and sampling of soil and rock, in-situ testing, and geophysical surveys. This allows us to assess the soil properties, identify potential hazards such as landslides or sinkholes, and determine the load-bearing capacity of the ground.
- Geotechnical Laboratory Testing: Our fully equipped geotechnical laboratory enables us to perform a wide range of tests on soil and rock samples. These tests provide crucial data on parameters such as shear strength, compressibility, permeability, and consolidation characteristics, helping us to assess the engineering properties of the materials.
Foundation Design: Based on the findings from the site investigation and laboratory testing, our experts develop customized foundation design solutions. We consider factors such as the type of structure, soil conditions, and anticipated loads to determine the most suitable foundation system, including shallow foundations, deep foundations, or ground improvement techniques

Field Testing
Plate Load Test: Assessing Soil Strength
Plate load testing is a geotechnical investigation method used to determine the load-bearing capacity and settlement characteristics of soil. By applying controlled loads to a steel plate on the ground surface and measuring the resulting settlement, engineers can assess the soil’s stiffness, modulus of subgrade reaction, and ultimate bearing capacity. This cost-effective and versatile test provides accurate data for foundation design and construction decision-making. Our experienced team conducts plate load testing using advanced equipment, providing reliable analysis and recommendations to ensure the stability and success of your projects. Contact us for professional plate load testing services.
Pile load test
Pile load testing involves applying controlled loads to a deep foundation pile and measuring the pile’s response to evaluate its load-carrying capacity. It helps determine the pile’s behavior under different load conditions, such as axial compression, axial tension, or lateral loads. By conducting pile load tests, engineers can validate design assumptions, optimize pile design, and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
There are several types of pile load tests we do
- Static Pile load test
- Dynamic Pile load test
- Lateral Pile load test
- Pile pullout test
- Cyclic pile load test
