Field and Laboratory Soil Testing

Professional Field and Laboratory Soil Testing for Reliable Construction Planning

Field and Laboratory Soil Testing Survey Service in Chandigarh is a critical geotechnical investigation service that is used to test the quality and capability of soils in various construction projects. Proper soil testing is necessary for decision-making on how best to develop a particular site using soil data.

Before starting any construction work, it is vital to understand the engineering properties of soil. Through our Field and Laboratory Soil Testing Survey Service in Chandigarh, we give you all the important details needed for your project.

What Does Field and Laboratory Soil Testing Involve?

Soil testing in the field and laboratory involves two parts of geotechnical site investigation. Field testing usually involves drill holes up to the desired depth, standard penetration tests (SPT) at regular intervals, sampling of disturbed and undisturbed soil samples, in situ determination of soil density and permeability when needed, and water table measurement. Then the soil samples taken are tested in the laboratory for properties like gradation, Atterberg limits (liquid and plastic limits), natural moisture content, specific gravity, shear strength properties, compression properties, and compaction properties. Interpretation of the soil test results in both the field and the laboratory according to IS 2720 (Methods of Test for Soils) and IS 1498 (Soil Classification), etc., gives a basis for safe bearing capacity computation and foundation design.

Why Field and Laboratory Soil Testing Matters in Chandigarh

The geography of Chandigarh being situated at the foothills of Shivalik hills, along with being located between Punjab and Haryana, gives rise to a mixed geology, which varies from sub-mountainous alluvial soils in the area surrounding the Sukhna Lake and northwestern part of the city to plain alluvial soils in the southern parts of the city. As a well-planned city still developing and modernizing itself through further developments of IT parks, campus and residential sectors, it is important to have a clear understanding of soil properties of each plot separately in order to build structures that would be in tune with ground conditions at those particular locations.

Benefits of Hiring Local Soil Testing Consultants in Chandigarh

Everybody is capable of testing. The understanding of the varied landscape of Chandigarh comes only through experience.
When you use soil testing experts in Chandigarh for the job, you get:
Location-based information on the sub-mountainous and alluvial soil profiles
Laboratory results that eliminate any expensive guesswork
