About Soil Testing and Geotechnical Investigation

Soil Testing and Geotechnical Investigation

Knowing the soil avoids over-designing or under-designing foundations. We take samples or arrange test pits, have them tested and summarise the results with recommendations for founding depth and type.

What we do

  • Site walk-over and test pit positions
  • Soil sampling and test pit logging
  • Laboratory testing of samples
  • Interpretation of results
  • Recommendations for foundation type and depth
  • Short factual report

What we need from you to quote

  • Site location and plot size
  • Type and height of the building or structure planned
  • Any known issues such as swamp, black cotton soil or fill
  • Nearby buildings and their foundation condition
  • Site access for sampling
  • Required report date
