Our Geotechnical Investigation Services
Geological Appraisal of Sites
Our geological assessments provide crucial understanding of your site's geological conditions, identifying potential risks and opportunities for your construction project in Rwanda's diverse geological terrain.
Soil Borings & Rock Drilling
We conduct precise soil borings and rock drilling operations using advanced equipment to obtain high-quality samples for laboratory testing. Our drilling capabilities extend to depths required for high-rise buildings, bridges, and major infrastructure projects.
Static & Dynamic Cone Penetration Testing
Our cone penetration testing (CPT) provides continuous profiles of soil properties, enabling accurate determination of bearing capacity, settlement characteristics, and soil classification throughout your site in Rwanda.
Static & Cyclic Plate Load Testing
We perform plate load tests to directly measure the load-deformation characteristics of soils and rocks, providing essential data for foundation design verification and quality control during construction.
Field Permeability & Percolation Tests
Our field permeability testing determines soil drainage characteristics crucial for foundation design, excavation planning, and environmental assessment in Rwanda's varied climatic conditions.
Pressuremeter Testing
Advanced pressuremeter testing provides in-situ measurements of soil and rock deformation characteristics, essential for pile design and deep foundation analysis.
In-Situ Vane Shear Testing
Our vane shear testing accurately measures the undrained shear strength of cohesive soils, providing critical data for stability analysis and foundation design in soft soil conditions.

Why Geotechnical Investigations are Critical for Your Project
Foundation Safety & Performance
Proper geotechnical investigation ensures your foundations are designed for the actual soil conditions, preventing costly failures and ensuring long-term structural performance.
Cost Optimization
Accurate soil data enables optimized foundation design, potentially saving significant costs on materials and construction time while ensuring safety.
Risk Mitigation
Comprehensive site investigation identifies potential geotechnical hazards early, allowing for appropriate design modifications and risk management strategies.
