- Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) Tests
The Dynamic Cone Penetrometer test is a widely used method for assessing soil strength and stiffness. This test involves driving a cone into the ground using a hammer and measuring the number of blows required to penetrate specific depths. The data collected provides valuable information about the soil’s load-bearing capacity, which is essential for foundation design. - Plate Load Tests
Plate load tests measure how a soil reacts under a given load, helping to determine its bearing capacity and settlement characteristics. In this test, a steel plate is placed on the ground, and loads are applied incrementally. We monitor the resulting settlement to assess how well the soil can support structural loads. This information is crucial for ensuring the stability and safety of foundations. - Insitu Density Tests
Insitu density tests measure the density of soil in its natural state, providing insight into compaction levels and soil stability. These tests help determine whether the soil meets the required specifications for construction projects. Techniques such as the sand cone method or nuclear density gauge are used to obtain accurate density measurements, ensuring that compaction standards are met. - Vane Shear Tests
Vane shear tests are performed to determine the undrained shear strength of cohesive soils. A vane is inserted into the ground and rotated to measure the torque required to shear the soil. This test is particularly useful for evaluating soil conditions in saturated environments and is essential for designing foundations in soft or sensitive clays. - In-Situ Permeability Tests
These tests assess the permeability of soil or rock layers, which is vital for understanding groundwater movement and drainage characteristics. We conduct tests such as the falling head or constant head permeability tests to provide insights that inform drainage designs and prevent issues related to water infiltration.
