Understanding the Foundation of Your Project

Geotechnical investigations are essential for any construction project, as they provide critical information about the subsurface conditions that will affect design and construction. At Infinity Geotechnical Services Kenya, we specialize in thorough and comprehensive geotechnical investigations using advanced techniques to ensure that your project is built on a solid foundation.

Our Approach:

1. Borehole Drilling
   We utilize borehole drilling to extract soil samples from various depths. This method allows us to analyze the soil composition, texture, and stratification, providing insights into load-bearing capacity, groundwater conditions, and potential contamination. Our team follows industry standards to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the samples collected.
2. Trial Pitting
   In addition to borehole drilling, we conduct trial pitting to expose and examine subsurface materials directly. This technique allows us to assess soil properties visually and test for conditions such as moisture content, density, and compaction. Trial pitting is particularly useful for understanding surface conditions and identifying potential issues before construction begins.
3. Soil Testing
   Once samples are collected, we perform a series of laboratory tests to determine key geotechnical properties, including:
   • Atterberg Limits: Assessing soil plasticity to understand how it behaves under varying moisture conditions.
   • Grain Size Analysis: Evaluating the distribution of particle sizes to predict drainage and compaction characteristics.
   • Shear Strength Tests: Measuring the soil’s resistance to shearing forces, which is critical for stability assessments.
4. Comprehensive Reporting
   After conducting investigations and tests, we compile detailed reports summarizing our findings. These reports include:
   • Soil and rock profiles.
   • Recommendations for foundation design and construction methods.
   • Potential challenges and mitigations based on site conditions.
5. Client Consultation
   We believe in a collaborative approach. After presenting our findings, we work closely with clients, engineers, and architects to discuss implications and ensure that our insights align with project goals. Our expert team is always available to answer questions and provide guidance on the next steps.
