Comprehensive geotechnical investigation including 6 boreholes with Standard Penetration Testing (SPT) to 25m depth. Laboratory testing suite and foundation design recommendations for 8-storey RC structure.
Installation of 45 bored piles, 800mm diameter, depths of 18-22m. Static load testing to verify 350-ton design capacity. Full-time geotechnical supervision.
Foundation underpinning using 32 micropiles, 200mm diameter, installed in low-headroom conditions. Seismic retrofitting for heritage structure. NSCP 2015 compliant design.
Geotechnical investigation for proposed 120m bridge crossing. 8 boreholes to 35m depth, rock coring, seismic hazard assessment, and foundation design recommendations.
DPWH-accredited laboratory testing for soil mechanics and foundation design

Comprehensive soil classification including sieve analysis, hydrometer, Atterberg Limits, and natural moisture content. USCS and AASHTO classification systems.
Standard and Modified Proctor compaction tests for embankment and engineered fill quality control. Maximum dry density and optimum moisture content determination.
Direct shear and vane shear testing for cohesion and friction angle determination. Essential for slope stability, retaining walls, and foundation bearing capacity analysis.
Consolidation testing for settlement prediction of cohesive soil layers. Compression index, recompression index, and coefficient of consolidation.
Geotechnical project sites across Mindanao
Reference soil samples from regional geotechnical investigations
Fat clay with high plasticity index. LL=65, PI=38. Suitable for consolidation study.
Coastal sand deposit, poorly-graded with little fines. Suitable for shallow foundation assessment.
Low to medium plasticity silty clay. Typical of urban fill deposits.
High plasticity silt, residual from weathered rock. Common in hilly terrain.
Silty sand with non-plastic fines. Good bearing capacity with proper compaction.
River alluvium, low plasticity silt. Subject to liquefaction potential assessment.
Low plasticity clay with sand. Typical of inland valley deposits.
Ongoing laboratory testing for multiple active projects.
