Exploring the Importance of Geotechnical Testing in Construction
Geotechnical evaluation can be considered as a crucial step in the preparatory phase of any
construction project. It involves assessing the suitability of the land or soil on which a structure is to
be built, as well as identifying any necessary remedial measures that may be required.

team of experienced engineers can assist you in determining the specific tests that are required for
your project, and we can provide you with immediate, on-site reports.
California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test
One of the tests we offer is the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) test, which measures the strength of
soil under the stress of wheel loads. This test, as per BS1377: Soils for Civil Engineering Purposes:
Part 9, is used for determining the thickness of materials required for building pavements and roads.
We use a plunger to measure the pressure required to penetrate the soil, and the results can be
provided to you instantly.
Incremental Plate Load test
Another test we offer is the Incremental Plate Load test, which is used to determine the weight-
bearing capabilities of a surface or material. This test is typically performed before heavy machinery
is brought to the site, to ensure that the surface is safe for crane and pile mats. We adhere to BS
1377: Soils for Civil Engineering Purposes when conducting these tests, to ensure that all regulatory
requirements are met.
Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) testing
We also offer Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) testing, which is used to assess the stiffness and
condition of pavements and roads. This test uses a Dynamic Core Penetrometer to determine the
CBR value and check the thickness and location of underlying soil. Like other tests, it can be
performed in-situ with an immediate report and no downtime required.
Hand Shear Vane test
Our Hand Shear Vane test is used to evaluate the undrained shear strength of cohesive soils. Our
engineers use a hand-held instrument to conduct this test and can provide instant, on-site reports.
The results can be presented in either Kn/M², or we can use BS 1377 calculations to provide vane
shear strength.
Sand Replacement Density and Core Cutter Density testing
Lastly, we offer Sand Replacement Density and Core Cutter Density testing. These tests are used for
measuring the density of natural soils or imported materials, and are typically used in the
construction of pavements and roads to determine the degree of compaction required. We follow
the testing procedure outlined in BS 1377: Soils for Civil Engineering Purposes: Part 9, to ensure that
everything is as it should be before the final layers are laid.
