Geotechnical

Geotechnical investigations involve the production of geotechnical reports including drilling and sampling in the field, laboratory testing and analysis of retrieved samples, and presentation of the activity and test results. This includes engineering recommendations such as soil and bedrock bearing capacities, foundation types, floor slab and paving parameters.
