Geotechnical Studies

Ekosein provides a comprehensive suite of geotechnical services to assess and analyze the properties of soil and subsurface conditions at project sites. Our experienced team of geotechnical engineers utilizes advanced techniques and equipment to conduct thorough field and laboratory testing, ensuring accurate and reliable data for informed decision-making.

Key Services:

1. Soil Investigation and Testing:

   • Field Tests: Conduct a comprehensive range of field tests, including standard penetration tests (SPTs), cone penetration tests (CPTs), and dynamic cone penetration tests (DCPTs), to evaluate soil properties and subsurface conditions.
   • Laboratory Tests: Perform detailed laboratory tests on soil samples to determine their physical and mechanical characteristics, including grain size distribution, moisture content, compaction properties, shear strength, and consolidation characteristics.

2. Foundation Assessment and Design:

   • Soil Bearing Capacity Evaluation: Assess the soil’s bearing capacity to determine its ability to support the proposed structure’s load.
   • Foundation Type Recommendation: Recommend the most suitable foundation type for the project based on soil characteristics, site constraints, and structural requirements.
   • Settlement Analysis: Analyze potential settlement of the structure under imposed loads and provide mitigation measures if necessary.

3. Geotechnical Engineering Studies:

   • Shallow and Deep Foundation Design: Design shallow foundations, such as footings and slabs, or deep foundations, such as piles and caissons, to support the structure safely and economically.
   • Retaining Wall Analysis and Design: Analyze and design retaining walls to stabilize slopes and prevent soil movement.
   • Ground Improvement Techniques: Evaluate and implement ground improvement techniques, such as soil compaction, vibro-flotation, and soil replacement, to enhance soil properties and bearing capacity.
   • Slope Stability Analysis: Analyze slope stability to identify potential hazards and develop mitigation measures to prevent landslides and erosion.
   • Geological and Hydrological Studies: Conduct geological and hydrological studies to assess site conditions, identify potential geological hazards, and evaluate groundwater levels and flow patterns.
   • Seismic Hazard Analysis: Analyze seismic hazards and provide recommendations for seismic design considerations.
