Know your ground before you build
Every safe foundation starts with understanding the soil beneath it. Our subsoil investigation uses soil boring, the Standard Penetration Test (SPT) and laboratory testing to establish the strength, composition and behaviour of the ground on your site, so engineers can design foundations with confidence.
What we provide
- Standard Penetration Test (SPT) boring and sampling
- Disturbed and undisturbed sample collection
- Laboratory testing: grain size, Atterberg limits, shear strength and consolidation
- Groundwater table assessment
- Detailed geotechnical report with foundation recommendations
Why it matters
Safer foundationsDesign is based on the real behaviour of your soil, not assumptions.
Economical designRight-sized foundations avoid both under-design and costly over-design.
Fewer surprisesSoft layers and groundwater are identified before construction starts.
Clear recommendationsRaw soil data is turned into practical engineering advice.
How the investigation works
- Boring and SPT at the planned locations on your site
- Sample collection of disturbed and undisturbed soil
- Laboratory testing of strength, grain size, plasticity and consolidation
- Groundwater assessment at each boring location
- Geotechnical report with foundation recommendations
