Soil Testing Services

Our Soil Testing service uses state-of-the-art methodologies to assess key soil characteristics, ensuring foundational stability and sustainability for construction projects. Proper soil testing is critical to avoid structural failures, such as uneven sinking or cracking, which can compromise the integrity of buildings.

Why Soil Testing is Essential

 

Soil testing in building construction is a crucial step to prevent structural issues. Without proper soil analysis, buildings risk developing cracks, sinking unevenly, or even collapsing. Soil testing provides vital information about soil properties, guiding the selection of appropriate construction materials and methods. For example, soils with high sulfur content require the use of sulfur-resistant cement.

TYPES OF SOIL TESTING METHODS

  • Moisture Content Test: Measures the water content in the soil, essential for understanding how soil will behave under different humidity conditions.

  • Atterberg Limits Test: Determines the critical water content of soil at various states, including liquid, plastic, and shrinkage limits.

  • Specific Gravity Test: Assesses the void ratio and degree of saturation, indicating the presence of organic or heavy materials in the soil.

  • Dry Density Test: Categorizes soil based on density, influencing the strength requirements for the foundation.

  • Compaction Test: Evaluates the compaction characteristics of soil, which is crucial for determining the maximum dry density and optimal water content.

SOIL TESTING PROCEDURE

  • Scope: Qualified geotechnical teams perform both fieldwork and laboratory analysis, providing comprehensive soil data.

  • Fieldwork: Teams use precise instruments to take soil samples and drill boreholes, commonly using the Standard Penetration Test to measure soil resistance.

  • Laboratory Analysis: Tests are conducted to evaluate the index and engineering properties of the soil samples, ensuring accurate data for construction planning.

Rock Testing Service

Our Rock Testing service offers an in-depth evaluation of rock properties, including durability, density, porosity, and strength. This information is essential for determining the suitability of rock for construction projects, ensuring robust and durable structures.

Importance of Rock Testing

Rock testing provides critical insights into the physical and mechanical properties of rock, which are vital for assessing the stability and durability of structures. It helps in identifying the rock's strength and resilience, crucial for foundational integrity.

KEY ROCK TESTING METHODS

  • Durability Testing: Measures the rock's ability to withstand weathering and environmental factors.

  • Density Testing: Determines the mass per unit volume of the rock, affecting its strength and stability.

  • Porosity Testing: Assesses the volume of void spaces within the rock, influencing its permeability and strength.

  • Mechanical Property Testing: Evaluates the rock's strength, elasticity, and other mechanical properties.

ROCK TESTING PROCEDURE

  • Sample Collection: Gathering rock samples from various locations at the construction site.

  • Laboratory Analysis: Conducting detailed tests to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties of the rock samples.

  • Data Interpretation: Using the test results to determine the suitability of the rock for construction purposes.
