Our Services

Soil Testing

Using Scala penetrometer and shear vane equipment to determine in-situ soil strength  within the shallow depths. For deeper subsurface investigation, a deep CPT drilling  rig is mobilised for a complete and thorough analysis of the soil conditions and soil strength profiles.

Stormwater and Wastewater Management

Effective stormwater and wastewater management is crucial for maintaining a healthy environment. Our comprehensive solutions ensure proper collection, treatment, and responsible disposal.

Liquefaction and Slope Stability Analysis

Liquefaction analysis is a crucial assessment process in geotechnical engineering, aimed at evaluating the potential of saturated soil to lose its strength and stiffness in response to an applied stress, often caused by an earthquake. This phenomenon occurs when the water pressure in the pores of the soil increases to a point where it significantly reduces the effective stress, essentially transforming the soil into a liquid-like state. Conducting a liquefaction analysis involves studying the soil's composition, density, and saturation levels, alongside factors such as seismic history and ground motion characteristics. Engineers utilize various methods, including empirical approaches, laboratory testing, and numerical modelling, to predict and mitigate the risks associated with soil liquefaction. Understanding these risks is essential for ensuring the safety and stability of structures, especially in earthquake-prone regions.
