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. Through the various tests the physical and chemical property of the soil are exposed by the analysis report and determines whether the land area is suitable for construction or not. For example, deep excavations, slope stability, coastal structures, pipeline structure, dams or earth structures, bridges, ground water barriers, geohazard assessments (seismic activities, landslides, settlement, liquefaction, and lateral spreading).

The key benefits geotechnical soil testing services are as follows:

• Highly experienced engineers carry out these tests.
• Large volumes of samples from different sites (onsite or offsite) can be tested on priority basis.
• Surface as well as sub-surface soil analysis can be done.
• Analysis of soil gradation can be accessed to.
• Measurement of soil resistance & water content determination can also be known to know the expansiveness of the clay.

The soil analysis establishes the facts and parameters considered for construction at the site from where the sample is tested. A brief picture of the soil structure, layer, sub-soil, and ground water table are all done by the soil testing. All tests are conducted as per the ASTM guidelines.

During the final stage, the results obtained by analysis various soil parameters as well as on site examination, are tallied and presented in a report. This is the primary report that reveals the project requirements, quality of the project site materials, construction plan and design, as well as the project design.
