Geotechnical engineering is a branch of civil engineering that deals with the behavior of the materials found on the Earth. It has a wide range of application such as mining, petroleum, defense, etc. The geotechnical engineering works on two principle: Rock and soil mechanics. The engineering process deals with the analysis of the surface of the earth. The site condition before the analysis gives an idea of the soil structure, composition, determines the appropriateness of building the construction foundation.

The TGVK geotech engineering services provides various services linked with geotechnical engineering works, such as follows: Continue reading →

When buildings are constructed on areas with high soil sensitivity there is a need for geotechnical testing services. Construction of dams, high walls, power plants, tunnels, etc., requires prior soil testing to avoid any future accidents or damage. The soil is analyzed from on-shore and off-shore sites of the construction area. Different types of tests are available on the list such as static testing, dynamic testing, hydrometer analysis, Atterberg limits, pH, proctors, resistivity, soil density, California bearing ratio, water content in the soil, unconfined compression tests, triaxial compression tests, compaction tests, hydraulic conductivity tests, Particle-size analysis, permeability tests, expansion index test, consolidation tests, and direct shear tests.
