Geotechnical surveys are an essential component of any construction project involving shallow foundations. Shallow foundations are designed to transfer the load of a building to the soil near the surface. To ensure that the soil can withstand the weight of the building and to prevent settlement, it is essential to carry out a geotechnical survey before construction begins.
- At Permal Consultants we provide comprehensive geotechnical survey services for shallow foundations. Our team of geotechnical engineers and specialists use the latest technology and techniques to evaluate the soil and provide recommendations for the design and construction of the foundation.
- Our geotechnical survey services include:
- Site investigation: We conduct a thorough investigation of the site to assess the soil conditions and any potential risks or hazards. This includes drilling, sampling, and testing the soil to determine its properties and characteristics.
- Soil testing: We use a range of tests to evaluate the soil’s strength, stiffness, and deformation characteristics. These tests include standard penetration tests, cone penetration tests, and plate load tests.
- Foundation design: Based on the results of our soil investigation and testing, we provide recommendations for the design and construction of shallow foundations. Our recommendations take into account the site-specific soil conditions and the proposed building’s load requirements.
- Construction monitoring: We provide ongoing monitoring and support during the construction phase to ensure that the foundation is built according to the recommended design specifications.
- At Permal Consultants we are committed to providing high-quality geotechnical survey services for shallow foundations. We work closely with our clients to ensure that our recommendations are tailored to their specific needs and requirements.
