Foundation investigations with field drilling and testing for buildings, industrial plants, gas plants
and compressor stations, highways, dams and other earth work projects. Slope stability
investigations with slope indicator and piezometer installations. Vibration monitoring for pile
driving and blasting projects. Pile inspections during installation and pile design.
All work is supervised by Professional Engineers with experienced technicians employed in all
phases of the work. We will be glad to supply you with additional information on request and to
assist you with engineering and testing on any of your forthcoming projects.
Testing provided on geotechnical investigations will
include the following information.
- Subsurface conditions.
- Ground water conditions.
- Insitu soil strengths at 1.52 metre (5.0 foot) intervals.
- Recommendations for foundation systems, footing and pile type foundations.
- Slab on grade and pavement design and compaction recommendations.
- Lateral earth pressures for basement walls.
- Drainage and water proofing systems for the substructure.
- Selection of fill and compaction standards.
- Concrete type for the substructure.
- Elevation of the test holes to a fixed datum.
- Soluble sulphate content in the soil.
