The foundation of any successful construction project lies in the stability of the soil. Understanding the engineering properties of the ground is essential for determining bearing capacity, settlement risks, and the overall safety of a structure.
Below are the industry-standard ASTM tests we perform to evaluate soil strength and composition.
The SPT is the most widely used field test for measuring soil density and consistency. By driving a hollow “split-spoon” sampler into the ground using a standard hammer weight, we calculate the N-value. This data is critical for estimating the shear strength of the soil and designing deep foundations or piles.
Collectively known as Atterberg Limits, these tests define the moisture contents at which a fine-grained soil transitions between solid, semi-solid, plastic, and liquid states.
This laboratory procedure determines the distribution of particle sizes within a soil sample. By passing the soil through a series of progressively finer mesh screens, we categorize the material as gravel, sand, silt, or clay.
Accurate data is the difference between a project that stands the test of time and one that faces costly structural issues.
We operate in strict accordance with ASTM D1586, D4318, and D422 to ensure your project meets all local building codes and safety regulations.
By identifying impurities or volatility issues early, we help you avoid the massive costs of premature pavement failure and reconstruction.
We provide clear, easy-to-read reports that translate complex laboratory data into actionable insights for your construction team.
Our lab utilizes calibrated, high-precision equipment to eliminate the margin of error in particle size and plasticity measurements.
Reliable construction starts from the ground up. Our dedicated team of specialists is ready to provide the precise geotechnical data you need to ensure your site is safe, stable, and ready for development. Whether you’re in the early planning stages or requiring immediate site verification, we deliver the technical clarity necessary to keep your project moving forward with confidence.
