Geo-Technical Site Investigation and Report Review
- We advise our client in planning the geo-technical scope of works based on the project needs.
- We also have direct association with a specialized laboratory in executing the field and lab investigation.
- We review the geo-technical reports to ensure that it aligns with engineering standards and provides accurate, actionable information for safe and effective structure design such as:
- Key findings on soil, groundwater, and hazards are correctly identified.
- Risks are correctly identified and mitigation strategies are appropriate.
- Recommendation with respect to Foundation, drainage, and construction guidance are mentioned and are in line with relevant codes and standards
Slope Stability Analysis
- Evaluate potential landslide risks or slope failures, especially in hilly or mountainous terrain.
- After performing in-depth analysis and review of soil condition (permeability, soil type, moisture, strength etc) we provide recommendation on best solution such as:
- Anchored Piled Retaining Walls
- Diaphragm Walls
- Secant Pile Walls
- Soil Nails
- Reinforced Soil Structures
- Retaining Walls
- Rockfall Protection
- Piling and Grouting
Liquefaction Potential Assessment
- We look at the geotechnical data from site investigations such as Standard Penetration Tests (SPT), Cone Penetration Tests (CPT), and Dilatometer Tests (DMT) and apply relevant standard methods to determine liquefaction potential risks.
- To minimize the risks, we provide mitigation strategies such as:
- Soil improvement techniques
- Better foundation designs
- Chemical stabilization, geotextiles, and other ground improvement techniques such as compaction, grouting, or the use of stone columns
Groundwater And Drainage Assessment
- We undertake hydrological studies to assist industries and municipalities for managing groundwater resources, assessing aquifer properties, evaluating water quality, and analyzing the interactions between groundwater and surrounding environments.
- We perform water quality testing, seepage analysis and advice on testing methods
- We provide recommendations to avoid issues such as water ingress, flooding, or excessive moisture during and after construction.
- We design drainage systems to prevent water-related damage or instability in the foundation
Structural Integrity
- We conduct building survey to determine groundwater leakage and condition of walls, flooring, sub-structures and corrosion condition of steel.
- We predict remaining building life using commercial software such as life365.
- We perform cost comparison of repair vs demolition vs new construction to determine most economical project choice based on fact findings
- We provide repair strategy in compliance with the latest European standard EN 1502 reinforced concrete repair protection philosophies
- We provide advice on crack repair methods in cemented structure such as buildings, roads, tanks
Foundation Design
- We provide tailored recommendations for foundation types, whether shallow, deep, or specialized, based on site-specific geotechnical properties.
- Design parameters for foundations, including bearing capacity, settlement predictions, and stability under various loads
- Load settlement assessment of foundation using advanced softwares like Plaxis 3D.
Ground Improvement Solutions
- Identifying poor soil conditions and proposing techniques for improving ground strength, such as soil compaction, grouting, stone columns or the use of geosynthetics.
- We offer solutions to correct challenging ground conditions through chemical stabilization, geotextiles, and other ground improvement techniques.
Risk Assessment
- Identifying and assessing potential risks such as liquefaction (due to earthquakes), sinkholes, soil subsidence, and groundwater flow.
- Assessing the site’s seismic risks and recommending design modifications to ensure structures can withstand potential earthquake activity.
