Geotechnical Investigations
8,000+ boreholes drilled. NABL lab. Every ground condition.
Soil and rock investigations, foundation engineering, geophysical surveys and ground improvement — backed by our NABL ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory across 22 states.
Practice Overview
Technical depth. Delivery certainty.
Our geotechnical practice provides complete subsurface investigation and ground engineering services — from borehole drilling and in-situ testing through NABL-accredited laboratory analysis, geophysical surveys and foundation design. We serve highway, metro, bridge, high-rise building, dam and industrial clients with rigorous site characterisation that underpins confident engineering decisions.
Our hydraulic rotary rigs routinely achieve 60 m depth and reach 120+ m for metro, bridge and high-rise foundation investigations. Backed by our NABL ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory, we deliver soil and rock test results under a stringent quality management system with full traceability. Our ground improvement team designs and supervises stone column, PVD, jet grouting and dynamic compaction schemes at scale — typically integrated with our highway and building EPC practices.

Soil Investigation
Borehole drilling, SPT, CPT, vane shear, pressuremeter and undisturbed sampling for thorough site characterisation of roads, bridges, buildings and embankments.
Foundation Design
Shallow and deep foundation optimisation — spread footings, raft foundations, driven and bored piles, well foundations — calibrated to ground conditions, loads and settlement tolerances.
Rock Mechanics
Core drilling, RQD and rock quality logging, rock mass classification (RMR, Q-system) and tunnel support design for infrastructure in challenging rock formations.
Geophysical Surveys
Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), seismic refraction and MASW for rapid non-invasive subsurface profiling over large highway and rail corridors.
Ground Improvement
Design and field supervision of stone columns, prefabricated vertical drains (PVDs), jet grouting, dynamic compaction, vibroflotation and surcharge preloading schemes.
