Geotechnical Investigation that you can build on.
Every structure is only as reliable as the ground it stands on. Our geotechnical investigations characterise the subsurface through boreholes, in-situ testing and laboratory analysis, so your designers work from measured soil and rock parameters rather than assumptions.
We plan the investigation around your structure and loads, then supervise drilling, sampling and in-situ tests in the field. Every sample is logged, preserved and tested, and the results are interpreted by engineers who understand both geology and foundation design.

It normally includes boreholes or test pits, field tests such as SPT, soil and rock sampling, laboratory testing and a report giving the soil profile, groundwater level and foundation recommendations.
It depends on the structure, its loads, the site area and how much the ground varies. Send us the layout and we will propose a borehole plan in line with IS 1892 and your structural requirements.
Field and laboratory work generally follows Indian Standards such as IS 1892 for subsurface investigation, IS 2131 for SPT and the IS 2720 series for soil tests, or the code your project specifies.
Yes. We work on projects across India. Share the location and scope and we will confirm mobilisation.
