Services
Large Structures
Deep foundation investigations for large structures such as Multi-story Buildings, Power Stations, Dams, Bridges, Power Lines, Shopping Centre’s and buildings with multiple basement levels.
Stability Investigations
Stability investigations for sites underlain by Soluble Rock. Investigations adhere to the guidelines presented in SANS 1936 Part 1 to Part 4. Final Report makes recommendations on the suitability of the site for a proposed structure, based on the results from the Test Pitting, Geophysical and Percussion Drilling (rock chip logging) phases of the investigation.
Bulk Water Supply Systems
Deep foundation investigations for the various infrastructural units forming part of bulk water supply systems such as Waste Water Treatment Works, Reservoirs, Elevated Water Tanks, Pump Stations and sub-surface pipe lines; with the associated calculations required for detailed designs such as lateral earth pressures and bearing capacity.
Geo-Environmental Investigations
Engineering Geological Investigation for the proposed new bulk water pipeline to be constructed alongside the existing pipeline. By Test pitting at regular intervals along the route (SAICE), sampling and testing for the re-use suitability analysis.
Township Developments
Deep foundation investigations for the various infrastructural units forming part of bulk water supply systems such as Waste Water Treatment Works, Reservoirs, Elevated Water Tanks, Pump Stations and sub-surface pipe lines; with the associated calculations required for detailed designs such as lateral earth pressures and bearing capacity.

Shallow Foundations
Shallow foundation investigations for single and double storey infrastructural units, such as; Schools, Ablution Facilities (with associated testing), Residential Structures, Warehouses, Clinics and Shopping Complexes.
Materials Investigations
Detailed centerline and materials investigations for the construction of roads and parking areas, pipelines and infrastructural units which require extensive layer works such as fields and embankments. These investigations focus on the testing of material for the suitability for the re-use in construction.
NHBRC Enrolments
Investigations for the NHBRC Enrolment of a single stand or site within a development in order to assist with the foundation design of single storey residential structures (or structures with similar foundation loads). Investigations can be conducted to guide the required initial building standard of an existing structure.
Borrow Pit Investigations
Detailed borrow pit exploration exercises conducted in order to located possible sources of material which are suitable for the use in construction, such as material used as bedding for pipelines, layer works in roads and rock and clay for the use in earth fill dam walls.
