Geotechnical Engineering
Graham Garner and Partners provides a wide range of site investigation services from hand dug trial pit investigations to multi borehole investigations.
Before starting physical site investigation work a Desk study report is always recommended to identify site conditions and enable the appropriate investigation techniques to be specified. Geotechnical site works include:
- • Trial pit and borehole investigations.
- • In-situ testing - shear vane, permeability tests and penetration tests.
- • Soil sampling.
- • Groundwater sampling.
- • Soil and groundwater testing.
- • Soakaway testing.
Geotechnical engineering services include the interpretation of ground conditions, interpretation of laboratory and in-situ testing results and preparation of recommendations relating to the site development including foundation selection and drainage design.
