Foundation investigations for heavy loaded infrastructure with dynamic to static loads, which includes the following structures:
Large mine structures, including investigations for crushers, milling complexes, large tanks, loading bins, conveyors, workshops and offices.
Investigations for dams, varying from Category I to Category III dams, including the evaluation of requirements for grout curtains or cut-off drains and borrow pits investigations for variable embankment construction materials.
Investigation for tailings dams and return water dams, the requirements for foundations for starter walls, penstock structures, cuttings and borrow pits for construction materials.
Large office blocks or housing developments, including basement investigations.
Dolomite Stability Investigations for large plant infrastructure or tailings dams
Foundation Investigations for linear structures that includes:
Pipeline and trenching investigations, specifically including excavatability and stability recommendations, with investigations for borrow pits for backfilling requirements.
Road and Railway projects, with special attention provided to foundation options for culverts and bridges, large cutting stability analyses as well as classification of borrow pits for constructions materials.
Reservoir projects, with diligent investigations to determine allowable foundation bearing capacities.
Solar farms, electrical pylons and distribution structures with specific attention to potential settlement of foundations or differential settlement.
Wind Energy Farms comprising foundations for large wind turbine structures
Geotechnical investigations for the establishment of rock quarries and borrow pits for:
Platform construction materials and the evaluation of existing rockfill material for raft foundation options.

Concrete aggregate materials according to SANAS Specification 1083. These include investigation and recommendations for fine concrete aggregate as well as coarse concrete aggregate with specific attention provided to Alkali-Silica Reactions (ASR) with cement and detrimental effects of chemical groundwater solutions.
Embankment construction materials, including materials for embankment shells, clay core embankments, filter materials and homogenous embankment materials.
Road construction materials, including backfill materials for road embankments.
We Also Provide :
Foundation investigations for lightly loaded structures in accordance with the NHBRC Specifications.
Geological and geotechnical mapping for the compilation of geotechnical zonation for sites for large infrastructure development.
