Geotechnical Investigation
A building is only as safe as the ground beneath it. We carry out geotechnical (soil) investigations in collaboration with the Geotechnical Engineering Lab, Mirpur University of Science & Technology (MUST) — combining field investigation with university laboratory testing. The result is a clear report on your soil's bearing capacity and the right foundation for your building, which is especially important in seismic Azad Kashmir and on sloping or filled land.

How it works
Consultation
We review your plot, the proposed building and its loads to plan the investigation.
Field Investigation
Boreholes or test pits are excavated at planned locations, with in-situ testing and logging of soil layers and groundwater.
Sampling
Disturbed and undisturbed soil samples are collected and sealed for the laboratory.
Laboratory Testing
Samples are tested at the Geotechnical Engineering Lab, MUST — classification, moisture, density, strength and other tests as the project requires.
Analysis & Report
We calculate safe bearing capacity and provide foundation type, depth and design recommendations in a signed report.
What the report covers
- Soil profile and borehole / test-pit logs
- Groundwater level
- Laboratory test results
- Safe bearing capacity
- Recommended foundation type and depth
- Notes on settlement, slopes and retaining structures
When you need it
- Multi-storey houses, plazas and commercial buildings
- Basements and retaining walls
- Sloping, filled or near-water land (e.g. around Mangla)
- Hospitals, schools, masajid and public buildings
- When approval authorities ask for a soil report
