Geotechnical Investigations
For any construction project, an understanding of the behavior and subsurface conditions of the soil in is critical, and in fact, a prerequisite for a sound, safe and economic design of the substructural elements.
Heureka’s team of qualified and experience Geotechnical Consultants makes it possible for us to undertake comprehensive site investigations for varying scales and scopes of projects. We take particular care to follow the client’ technical specifications for geotechnical investigation or prepare one, if it does not exist, to guide our field team.
This ensures that:
- The investigation is carried out smoothly and completed on time
- The site investigation is conducted in a proper manner so as to collect the correct information regarding the soil/rock properties in the project site
- Project cost that might otherwise increase due to ignorance of subsurface conditions is significantly minimized
- Dispute between the owner and contractor (on financial matters related to the scope of work, extra payments due to unexpected subsurface conditions encountered at the site or due to low-quality work, or completion by the contractor not being on time) is avoided.
We have drill rigs that are used to obtain soil samples at foundation or bridge pier locations for laboratory testing. For granular or sandy soils, we use Standard Penetration Test (SPT) for sampling.
