Geo technical Investigations

Geotechnical investigations, delivered with integrity

Every development depends on understanding the ground beneath it. We assess slope stability, characterise soils and rock, and deliver the site data engineers need for safe, sustainable foundation design.

Our field and laboratory services support municipal, commercial, mining, and infrastructure projects. Data is reported to SANS/ISO 17025:2017 criteria and can be submitted for tender documentation, regulatory approval, or construction sign-off.

Investigation Services

How It Works

Site brief to signed report - timelines depend on scope, site access, and laboratory workload.

01

Project Brief

Share the site location, project scope, and required deliverables. We confirm the investigation approach.

02

Field Investigation

Our team conducts site evaluation, sampling, compaction testing, and in situ density testing as required.

03

Laboratory Testing

Samples undergo classification, shear, consolidation, permeability, and hydrometer testing as scoped.

04

Geotechnical Report

Detailed report issued with findings, foundation recommendations, and geotechnical risk assessment.
