Geotechnical Engineering

Plate load test is done on site to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of soil and settlement of foundation under the loads for clayey and sandy soils. Plate load test is an in-situ testing method which is helpful for the selection and design of the foundation.

Geotechnical Engineering

Geotechnical Instrumentation refers to the various sophisticated instruments that are used to monitor geotechnical structures, sites, and the environment

Geotechnical Engineering

In accordance with ASTM D3080 Standard Test Method for Direct Shear Test of Soils Under Consolidated Drained Conditions. The direct shear test measures the consolidated drained shear strength properties (c and φ) of soil, or of discontinuities in soil materials.

Construction Materials Testing

Electrical Density Gauge (EDG): The Electrical Density Gauge (EDG) is a nuclear-free alternative for determining the moisture and density of compacted soils used in road beds and foundations.

• In accordance to ASTM D7698
• Portable, battery-powered instrument capable of being used anywhere without the concerns and regulations associated with nuclear safety
• Know more in our Resources page

Construction Materials Testing

In accordance with ASTM D6927 Standard Test Method for Marshall Stability and Flow of Asphalt Mixtures. The Marshall testing optimizes asphalt mixture design, and provides performance / quality control of asphalt pavement compaction.

Construction Materials Testing

In accordance with ASTM C131 Standard Test Method for Resistance to Degradation of Small-Size Coarse Aggregate by Abrasion and Impact in the Los Angeles Machine. The LA abrasion machine measures the degradation of mineral aggregate of standard gradings resulting from a combination of actions including abrasion or attrition, impact and grinding.

Construction Materials Testing

In accordance with ASTM D4546 Standard Test Methods for One-Dimensional Swell or Collapse of Soils. The consolidation laboratory test measures the magnitude of one-dimensional wetting-induced swell or collapse of unsaturated soils, or measures the load-induced compression subsequent to wetting-induced deformation.

Construction Materials Testing

CBR Testing is primarily undertaken to provide data for road pavement design. 

• It is a penetration test which is used to evaluate the subgrade strength primarily of roads, pavements and foundations
• The CBR test often forms part of the overall site investigation and is useful for determining the thickness of materials needed for the proposed construction

Construction Materials Testing

DCPT is the most cost effective way to assess the shallow subgrade soil stiffness. It can be correlated to CBR values for roadway evaluation.
