Site Investigation is an essential part to the successful
completion of any civil engineering or building project. RDS JIYANSH Laboratory
provides the full process as below:-

Desk Study

Desk Study reports trace the historical development of the site along with identification of potential contamination issues which may affect the development.

Ground Investigation

Design of investigation appropriate to the development and anticipated ground conditions to ensure best advice is given to formulate economic and safe design.

Contamination Assessment

Assessment of levels of contaminants in soil and water reviewed in respect of the development and associated risks.

Geotechnical Analysis

Where ground movement may affect a development we can undertake detailed analysis such as slope stability or heave to assist structural design.

Field Work

RDS JIYANSH Laboratory offers a wide range of exploratory methods including rotary boreholes, window sampling, in-situ testing and trial pits. Field work is controlled by our Geotechnical Engineers / Supervisors who continuously monitor progress and ensure that sufficient and relevant data is obtained for the proposed development.

Typical analysis conducted in :

  • Shallow foundation and deep foundation analysis and recommendations
  • Earth and rock slope stability analysis
  • Retaining wall evaluations
  • Reinforced slope design
  • Geo-fabric applications
  • Construction phase monitoring
  • Pavement evaluation and design
  • Independent geotechnical reviews
  • Foundation Recommendation
  • Retaining walls and slopes
  • Basement heave
