Soil testing

Soil testing

It is important to check quality of soil before starting construction. Soil testing is done to test bearing capacity. The chemical and physical parameters are checked during this process. Quality of soil depends upon various factors such as weather, climate change and for the past years the land was deployed for what purpose and what was there previously.

One may build structure with strongest materials and most innovative techniques however if due consideration is not given to foundation, may lead to inevitable disaster.

We carry out following tests on soil:-

  • Soil Investigation/li>
  • CBR Value
  • Dry Density/ Moisture content
  • Soil compaction
  • Sieve analysis
  • Liquid limit/ Plasticity index/ Plastic limit
  • Free soil index
  • Specific gravity
  • Hydrometer test
  • Direct Shear/ Triaxial Shear
  • Consolidation
  • Permeability
  • Agriculture soil (Fe, Zn, Mn, N, K, pH conductivity etc)
