Soil Investigation

Every successful project starts with understanding the ground it stands on.

At Archineers, we provide comprehensive soil investigation services for all types of projects, including buildings, roads, bridges, and other civil infrastructure. We don’t assume ground conditions. We test, analyze, and deliver accurate data that ensures your project is safe, stable, and built to last.


Our Scope of Services

We carry out complete geotechnical and geophysical investigations, covering fieldwork, laboratory testing, and detailed reporting.

Field Investigation and In-Situ Testing

  • Borehole drilling and detailed logging

  • Trial pits and trenching

  • Standard Penetration Test (SPT)

  • Cone Penetration Test (CPT)

  • Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DCPT)

  • Plate Load Test

  • Field Density Test

  • Permeability and infiltration tests

  • Groundwater level determination


Geophysical Investigations

  • Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES)

  • Electrical Resistivity Survey

  • 2D and 3D resistivity imaging

  • Seismic refraction survey

  • Subsurface profiling for layer identification and depth analysis


Soil Sampling

  • Disturbed sampling

  • Undisturbed sampling using Shelby tubes and core cutters


Laboratory Testing

We carry out a wide range of laboratory tests to determine the engineering properties of soils:

  • Grain size analysis including sieve and hydrometer analysis

  • Atterberg limits including liquid limit, plastic limit, and shrinkage limit

  • Natural moisture content determination

  • Specific gravity test

  • Bulk density and dry density

  • Compaction tests including Standard and Modified Proctor

  • California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test

  • Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) test

  • Triaxial shear test

  • Direct shear test

  • Consolidation test

  • Permeability test

  • Soil classification and index property determination


Analysis and Reporting

  • Determination of safe bearing capacity

  • Settlement analysis and foundation recommendations

  • Pavement design parameters for road projects

  • Slope stability considerations where required

  • Detailed geotechnical reports with clear and practical recommendations


Why Soil Investigation Matters

Without proper soil investigation, projects are exposed to risks such as foundation failure, excessive settlement, structural cracking, and costly repairs.

At Archineers, we eliminate uncertainty by providing accurate data and reliable engineering insights that guide safe and cost-effective construction decisions.


Why Choose Archineers

  • We handle all types of projects from buildings to roads and infrastructure

  • We offer complete investigation from fieldwork to laboratory testing and reporting

  • We provide practical, buildable recommendations not just data

  • We are committed to quality, precision, and long-term performance
