• Geotechnical Investigation

Construction projects are highly sensitive because they need to ensure the resulting buildings are safe for people and surrounding structures. Therefore, a geotechnical site investigation is conducted to verify the status of the soil. This report is essential before building foundations on the ground. As a result, geotechnical site investigation has gained importance in today’s world.

The purpose of a geotechnical site investigation is to provide a detailed report to the Contractor/consultant before they start their construction work.

The scope of geotechnical site investigation involves collecting soil samples, running lab tests, researching available literature, mapping/logging, and conducting on-site reviews. The collected data from these studies are used for site grading, retaining walls, site drainage, building foundations etc.

It’s essential to conduct a thorough geotechnical site investigation before construction can begin. There are several reasons for doing so.

• Minimize Damage
• Cost Control
• Determine The Construction Material

At URS, we provide you with a complete understanding of the conditions and hazards at your project site. URS is equipped with all the latest Geotechnical investigation equipment and has highly qualified experienced Geotechnical engineers, geologists, and drillers.
