Geotechnical Investigations

We provide subsurface investigations for challenging infrastructure projects such as onshore and offshore power line corridors, long-distance gas pipelines, highways, railway projects, buildings, and industrial facilities.

Geotechnical site investigations, ground characterisation, tests and analysis are an essential starting point for the design and construction of any infrastructure project. Metricon undertakes geotechnical and geo-environmental site investigations and reports on ground conditions of project sites, enabling clients develop appropriate designs,manage risks specific to engineering properties of soils, rocks and any geological materials under construction sites.

Ground Investigations

Ground investigation is required to establish and determine various engineering properties of soils and rocks for geotechnical and environmental purposes.These engineering properties are then used to establish design parameters for foundations and substructure design.

These investigations seeks to understand the soil and rock conditions on the subsurface that include the groundwater conditions, engineering problems, types of soils or rock, and measuring the thermal resistivity of soils.

Ground investigation can be undertaken to cover preliminary investigation,detailed investigations,supplementary investigation sand construction recommendations depending on the complexity of the projects.
