Subsurface Explorations

Two (2) trial pits were dug by a peak axe up to 2m and were logged, monitored for ground water table and sampled before back filling was done.

Sample Recovery

We recovered both disturbed and undisturbed samples at 1 and 2m depth of each test pit excavated;

Insitu testing

Conducted Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) testing at 1m depth and at the bottom of the test pit (2m) to assess the in-situ bearing capacity;

Laboratory Testing

We performed laboratory testing including classification tests (Natural moisture content, Particle size distribution, Atterberg Limits);

Report writing

We compiled the geotechnical investigations report comprising of our findings of the subsurface soil conditions, engineering analyses made on the laboratory tests and recommendations on the type and depth of foundation to be used.
