Soil Exploration and Testing
We at Adorn Constructions, actively collaborate
with geotechnical experts and laboratoriesin conducting field
investigations and lab testing to determine the physical and engineering
properties of the soil. Our services include providing geotechnical
investigation reports and hydrological analysis reports to our clients
by analysing soil exploration data.
Geotechnical investigation is inevitable for a construction project as soil behaviour varies with its character and composition.

“Keep the soil healthy and the bad seed won’t grow.”
Foundation design and stability demands an
in-depth study of geological subsurface and suggests need of piling if
necessary. Also, it is advised to perform soil tests at a time when
climate change has significantly altered the precipitation pattern
thereby causing issues of drainage viz., soil piping in Kerala. Our soil
exploration team collects undistracted soil samples and engage with geo
technical experts foranalysis of permeability, compressive strength,
shear strength vide lab tests and in-situ tests viz., standard
penetration tests, static and dynamic cone penetrationtests California
Bearing Ratio test and pressure-meter tests and arrive at exact values
of soil properties.
In exploring the
geotechnical properties, we follow established norms and standard
practices. For e.g., IS Code 1080 is followed for design &
construction of simple footings, IS Code 1892is referred for subsurface
investigation for foundations, IS Code 2131 for standard penetration
tests and IS Code 2720 for methods of tests for soils. Our team
investigates ground water conditions for permeability analysis, studies
potential damages to existing sewers, conduits and drainage system,
engages in identification of corrosive soil, waters and effluents and
performs exploratory drillings and borings for examination and testing.
The strength of the
foundation decides the longevity of the structure. We expect your dream
to stand tall for generations to come. Know your ground, know your
strength. We await you at our office with a comprehensive report on your
soil.
