Geotechnics – The Basis of Safe Construction

Geotechnical investigations verify construction quality and adapt foundation solutions to site-specific conditions. Landslides, unstable ground, or fluctuating groundwater levels can pose risks to projects, making precise analysis and monitoring essential for structural safety and longevity. With our services, such as pile load testing, driveability analysis, settlement monitoring, and ground anchor testing, engineers and investors can make informed decisions based on reliable data.

We Understand the Challenges in Geotechnics

Uncertainty in Soil Conditions

Thorough soil investigations and parameter analysis help identify potential risks early and optimize foundation solutions.

Risk of Settlements and Uneven Movements

Settlement monitoring and inclinometer measurements allow for continuous control of ground and structural stability.

Challenges in Predicting Pile Installation

Driveability analysis ensures the right technology and equipment selection, reducing the risk of pile damage and unexpected installation difficulties.

Changing Groundwater and Soil Conditions

Continuous groundwater level monitoring and filtration studies help adapt structures to dynamic environmental changes.

Impact of Vibrations on Foundations and Surroundings

Vibration measurement and monitoring help assess construction activities' impact on nearby structures and foundations, minimizing damage risks.

High Repair Costs Due to Design Errors

Foundation load capacity verification and stress analysis using strain gauges enable risk identification and structural optimization before construction begins.

Services That Enhance Safety and Efficiency in Construction

Measurement and monitoring of noise

Noise monitoring is used to measure, analyze, and assess sound levels in the environment.

Pile integrity testing

The PIT method is a simple and cost-effective technique for assessing the quality of cast-in-situ piles, while also being applicable to driven piles, provided the pile material is elastic.

Static load tests

Static pile load testing is a traditional method for assessing load-bearing capacity, where the pile is subjected to pressure or tension using hydraulic jacks, steel beams, and anchor piles to determine its strength.

Drivability

By incorporating data on the pile type and dimensions, as well as external factors such as soil conditions and hammer type, pile driving can be simulated, allowing for an estimation of pile driveability and an informed evaluation of hammer selection before driving.

Dynamic load tests

This method is suitable for piles in various ground conditions, regardless of load transfer mechanism or material, covering both driven and bored piles.

Ground anchor testing

Ground anchor testing ensures the quality and load-bearing capacity of installed anchors, with tests categorized into preliminary, suitability, and acceptance tests, conducted on 100% of the anchors within a structure.
