Materials & Geotechnical investigations

 At MBW, materials and geotechnical investigations play a vital role in evaluating ground conditions for infrastructure projects. These investigations are studies of soil and rock conditions at a site to determine its suitability for construction. They help engineers design foundations, retaining walls and other structures that can safely support the weight of a building or pavement.  Through materials investigations, construction materials are tested to confirm their suitability (quality) and availability (quantity) for use during any construction works

By conducting thorough materials and geotechnical investigations, the risks of foundation failure, excessive settlement, and other structural challenges can be minimised during and after construction.

Our team of experts ensures that designs and construction processes are safe, cost-effective, and compliant with all applicable regulations, design standards and specifications. We specialize in the design and construction of buildings, roads, bridges, and various civil engineering projects.

Key Focus Areas:

  • Site Assessment and Initial Investigation
  • Field/Site investigations like Trial pit investigations, Borehole Drilling, Swamp augering, Dynamic Cone Penetration (DCP) testing, Dynamic Light Penetration (DPL) Testing etc.
  • Laboratory Testing of Soil Samples
  • Geotechnical Analysis and Reporting
  • Construction supervision majorly through quality control and assurance
