Geotechnical Services

Geotechnical soil investigations, drilling, and testings for soils and rocks.

Our offered services in Soil Investigations

Our company provides Soil Investigation services in Sabah, also known as geotechnical investigation. This process involves determining the physical properties of soil at a construction site to assess its suitability and stability for construction. The procedure is essential for evaluating whether the soil can safely support a proposed structure. Only after the soil samples have been thoroughly analyzed can a construction project proceed. Soil investigation employs a variety of techniques and is a critical step in the site preparation and building process, as its findings can significantly influence the development and design of the project.

The results of a soil investigation can have a significant impact on the overall design of a building project. Engineers rely on the data collected—such as the soil’s bearing capacity, settlement rate, and other key properties—to make informed decisions. Based on these findings, they may need to adjust the depth and type of the foundation to ensure structural stability. Additionally, this information helps in selecting the most suitable construction elements, identifying appropriate building techniques, and anticipating potential challenges. By addressing these factors early on, engineers can develop effective solutions to avoid issues later in the construction process.

Our company has earned a strong reputation in the industry due to our extensive range of Soil Investigation services. These services come in various types and can be tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients, whether for geotechnical purposes, groundwater exploration, or other requirements. Our experienced crews and skilled workers have a wealth of drilling expertise, consistently delivering high-quality results even under challenging site conditions.
