Soil Investigation - National Lab. For Soil Investigation & Building Materials Testing

Product Specification

Product Description

Soil investigation is to carry out physical testing on site to understand the ground conditions for geotechnical design for foundations, retaining walls and soil improvement. It allows the engineer to work out safe and economical design of a project and inform the construction engineer about the material and conditions he will encounter in the field. Its objective is to determine engineering properties of soil, to select a suitable type of foundation, to estimate the probable and maximum differential settlements and mainly to find the bearing capacity of the soil, which could be used in the engineering design and specifications of the proposed construction projects like building, infrastructures, villas, etc. The site works involves auger boring including sampling and Standard Penetration Test (SPT), trial pits, ground water level measurement, and followed by laboratory analysis for particle size distribution and chemical analysis.
