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 ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ collect and provide expert analysis of soil samples, creating the foundational knowledge for the project that informs structure design.

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ is 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.

Marine soil boring project, exploratory boreholes and soil sampling.

Soil Boring at Jurong Channel Power Gas

Drilling a total of six exploratory boreholes, including standard penetration tests with soil sampling at 1.0 m intervals. Conducting laboratory tests on soil and rock samples.

Coring rock using vertical and inclined boreholes.

Feasibility Study for Underground Facilities

The project required coring 200+ meters into rock, vertical and inclined boreholes to determine the geological information of the substrata.
