FAQ

Why is geotechnical investigation essential for construction projects ?

Geotechnical investigation is conducted in a proper manner so as to collect the correct information regarding the soil & rock properties in the project site and decision-making in foundation design and construction, ensuring structural stability and safety.

Methodology of Geotechnical investigation ?

Geotechnical investigation will be planned to obtain the subsurface stratification in the proposed project site and collect soil & rock samples for laboratory testing to determine the engineering properties such as shear strength, along with basic engineering classification of the subsurface stratum to arrive at the foundation design parameters.

What role does geotechnical expertise play in optimizing foundation designs ?

Geotechnical expert analyzing soil & rock properties, calculation of soil bearing capacity and they can recommend suitable foundation designs and precautions and ensuring the long-term success of construction projects.
