Geotechnical Investigation
Durocrete currently operates a variety of soil investigation techniques for both geotechnical and environmental projects within India. It is dedicated to satisfying the geotechnical and environmental requirements of today’s developers and strives to produce a cost effective, efficient and reliable ground investigation service.
Salient features
- Team of well qualified engineers / personnel in Geotechnics.
- Durocrete has carried out more than 400 investigations and has an unquestionable pedigree / track record.
- Strong analytical capability including basement construction, Pile Group, Retaining Wall and Slope Stability Analysis.
Site Investigation is an essential part to the successful completion of any civil engineering or building project. Durocrete provides the full process as below:-
- Desk Study
Desk Study reports trace the historical development of the site along with identification of potential contamination issues which may affect the development.
- Ground Investigation
Design of investigation appropriate to the development and anticipated ground conditions to ensure best advice is given to formulate economic and safe design.
- Contamination Assessment
Assessment of levels of contaminants in soil and water reviewed in respect of the development and associated risks.
- Geotechnical Analysis
Where ground movement may affect a development we can undertake detailed analysis such as slope stability or heave to assist structural design.
- Field Work
Durocrete offers a wide range of exploratory methods including rotary boreholes, window sampling, in-situ testing and trial pits.
Field work is controlled by our Geotechnical Engineers / Supervisors who continuously monitor progress and ensure that sufficient and relevant data is obtained for the proposed development.
- Analytical Capability
All necessary analysis is carried out in-house using both in-house and commercial computer programs such as Autocad and Winlog, Winfence software for Borelog and Soil Profiles.
Typical analysis conducted in :
- Shallow foundation and deep foundation analysis and recommendations
- Earth and rock slope stability analysis
- Retaining wall evaluations
- Reinforced slope design
- Geo-fabric applications
- Construction phase monitoring
- Pavement evaluation and design
- Independent geotechnical reviews
- Foundation Recommendation
- Retaining walls and slopes
- Basement heave
