Soil boring tests are a crucial first step to any construction project. Soil boring testing provides an informed foundation and structure design, contributing to your project's cost-effective and safe approach.
Soil boring, also called geotechnical boring, is a technique used to investigate and determine soil composition and conditions at a site where construction is planned. Soil boring companies like ÌÇÐÄlogoÃ×·ÆÍÃcollect and provide expert analysis of soil samples, creating the foundational knowledge for the project that informs structure design.
ÌÇÐÄlogoÃ×·ÆÍÃis among the most trusted geotechnical drilling companies in North America and Singapore, we are fully accredited to provide soil boring and analysis for a huge range of projects. Our geotechnical engineers use trucks, ATVs or track-mounted geotechnical drilling rigs to collect samples for our tests and generate a subsurface profile that measures your soil's engineering properties, restrictive soil layers, infiltration levels and more.

Plate load test
The plate load test determines the load capacity of soil and likely settlement under a given load. It requires digging the ground to a given depth of the foundation level, applying a load on a steel plate, and recording the soil response. Our plate test is SAC-SINGLAS accredited to the BS 1377 test standard.
