Preliminary field investigation of undrained shear strength of soft to medium stiff clays and peats. Used during site characterisation and foundation feasibility assessment.
Schmidt Rebound Hammer
Non-destructive testing of hardened concrete for estimating compressive strength and uniformity in existing structures — essential for structural audits and condition surveys.
Concrete Scanner / Profometer
Detects reinforcement bar positions, depth of cover, and estimates rebar diameter in concrete structures. Critical for structural audits, renovation planning, and compliance checks.
Digital Direct Shear Machine
Determination of peak and residual shear strength parameters of soils — essential for slope stability analysis, retaining wall design, and foundation bearing capacity calculations.
Consolidation Test Machines (Oedometers)
Determines settlement characteristics, compressibility, and consolidation properties of saturated soils under loading — critical for foundation design on soft or compressible soils.
