Geotechnical Surveys
At ORAD Group, we understand that the success of any construction project begins with a thorough understanding of the ground it stands on. Our geotechnical surveys are designed to provide comprehensive insights into subsurface conditions, ensuring that every structure we build is safe, stable, and durable.
Our Geotechnical Survey Services Include:
-
Site Investigation:
- Initial Assessment: We conduct a preliminary evaluation of the site to understand its general conditions and plan the survey effectively.
- Geophysical Surveys: Utilizing advanced techniques such as seismic refraction and electrical resistivity to map subsurface features.
-
Soil Sampling and Testing:
- Borehole Drilling: Extracting soil samples from various depths to analyze their composition and properties.
- Laboratory Testing: Performing detailed tests on soil samples to determine characteristics such as grain size distribution, Atterberg limits, density, permeability, and shear strength.
-
In-Situ Testing:
- Standard Penetration Tests (SPT): Measuring soil resistance to penetration to assess its density and strength.
- Cone Penetration Tests (CPT): Evaluating soil behavior under load by measuring resistance to cone penetration.
- Pressure meter Tests: Determining soil deformation and strength properties under applied pressure.
-
Data Analysis and Interpretation:
- Geotechnical Modelling: Creating detailed models of subsurface conditions to predict soil behavior and guide design decisions.
- Risk Assessment: Identifying potential geotechnical hazards and providing mitigation strategies.
-
Reporting and Recommendations:
- Comprehensive Reports: Compiling all findings into detailed reports that include soil profiles, test results, and geotechnical recommendations.
- Foundation Design Guidance: Offering expert advice on foundation types and construction practices based on survey results.
