Assessing Bearing Capacity for Safe Foundations

The Plate Load Test is a key method for determining the bearing capacity of the ground. At Infinity Geotechnical Services Kenya, we perform plate load tests to evaluate how soil or rock will behave under load. This test involves applying pressure to a steel plate placed on the ground and measuring the settlement response. The data obtained helps us determine the load-bearing capacity of the soil, ensuring safe and stable foundations for buildings, bridges, and other structures. This test is vital for making informed engineering decisions, especially for large-scale construction projects.
