1. GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING

Our team is lead by senior staff with sound academic background and extensive experience in geotechnical engineering.  The geotechnical engineering service offered includes, but is not limited to the following:​

  • Subsurface investigations: This includes preliminary desktop studies; Field supervision of drilling; Sampling; Logging of soil and rock samples and in-situ testing; Laboratory testing on retrieved soil and rock samples; Analysis; Determination of design perimeters: Report preparation which will include all investigation results with the recommendations for shallow and deep foundation design; excavation; shoring and pavement design. 

  • Footing inspection and supervision of deep foundation installation.

  • Preparation and inspection of excavation schemes. 

  • Slope stability analysis.

2. CONSTRUCTION CONTROL AND INSPECTION SERVICE

We have a knowledgeable and well experienced team who can provide excellent construction control and inspection service to our clients in the following areas:

  • Subgrade inspection for footings and pavement.

  • Supervision of deep foundations installation (drilled caissons and driven piles).

  • Pile load testing.

  • Deep excavation and shoring supervision and inspection (soldier piles installation, caisson wall and diaphragm wall installation, soil and rock anchors installation and stressing, etc.).

  • Deep excavation and shoring instrumentation and movement monitoring (vertical and horizontal movements and deformation).

  • Supervision and monitoring of existing structures underpinning and rehabilitations.

  • Instrumentation and monitoring of deformations (horizontal and vertical movements). 

  • Compaction testing for soil and pavement using traditional and nuclear gauge. 

  • Supervision and control of stressing (tensioning) of post-tensioned structures and grouting of ducts (pre-stressed concrete structures).

  • Reinforcing steel (rebar) inspection.

  • Concrete testing.

 

All construction control and inspection will be documented and professionally presented in factual reports for future reference and for defense in case of litigation or claims.

3. MATERIALS SELECTION, ASSESSMENT & TESTING

We advise clients on materials selection and conduct field and lab testing to assess the construction materials and determine their suitability and acceptance.  We provide the following services in this regard:

  • Laboratory testing of soils, rock, concrete, and asphalt.

  • Proctor testing and In-situ soil and asphalt compaction testing
    (using traditional and nuclear gauge). .

  • Collection and sampling of natural and engineering materials.

  • Concrete field and laboratory testing.

  • Shallow and deep foundations. 

  • Flexible and rigid pavement. 

  • Excavation schemes.

  • Deep excavation and shoring.

  • Soil and rock anchors.
