Geotechnical Surveys

We conduct thorough geotechnical surveys to asses soil conditions and ensure the foundation is safe.

At the heart of every robust and long-lasting structure lies a thoroughly assessed and expertly designed foundation. In Kenya’s diverse geological landscape, understanding the intricate soil conditions is not just a best practice, but a critical necessity for ensuring the safety, stability, and longevity of any commercial, residential, or industrial project. Our specialized geotechnical survey services provide the essential insights needed to mitigate risks and optimize foundation design, giving you complete peace of mind.

We conduct thorough and meticulous geotechnical investigations using a combination of advanced field techniques and in-depth laboratory analysis. This process involves drilling boreholes and trial pits across your site to collect undisturbed soil and rock samples. These samples are then subjected to a battery of tests to determine crucial engineering properties such as soil bearing capacity, shear strength, compressibility, permeability, and groundwater levels. We also assess the presence of problematic soils like expansive clays or collapsible soils that could impact foundation performance. Our detailed soil analysis reports provide a clear picture of the subsurface conditions, identifying potential challenges and informing appropriate design solutions.

The findings from our geotechnical surveys are directly translated into optimized foundation designs that are perfectly suited to your site’s unique characteristics. Whether your project requires shallow foundations like strip footings or rafts, or deep foundations such as piles or caissons, our recommendations are engineered to ensure maximum structural safety and cost-effectiveness. By understanding the precise interaction between the proposed structure and the underlying soil, we help prevent issues like uneven settlement, structural cracking, and costly future repairs, ultimately delivering maximum value for your investment in Kenya’s dynamic construction environment.
