Understanding Geotechnical Engineering Testing and Inspection:
Geotechnical engineering services provided by Fenagh Engineering and Testing encompass a wide range of tests and inspections that assess the physical properties of soil and rock formations at construction sites. These services offer essential data and insights that inform the design, construction, and maintenance of structures. Here’s a closer look at some key aspects of geotechnical testing and inspection:
- Site Characterization: Fenagh Engineering and Testing begins by conducting thorough site investigations. This includes soil and rock sampling, geophysical surveys, and geological mapping to understand the subsurface conditions. This information forms the foundation for designing foundations that can support the intended structure.
- Soil Testing: Our team performs laboratory testing to determine soil properties such as density, moisture content, permeability, shear strength, and compressibility. This data is instrumental in selecting appropriate foundation types and construction methods.
- Foundation Design: The data collected by Fenagh is used to design foundations that can safely transfer loads from a structure to the ground. This includes choosing suitable types of foundations like shallow foundations, deep foundations, or specialized solutions such as pile foundations.
- Quality Control: Throughout construction, we ensure that soil conditions are as expected, and that construction materials are appropriately installed. Our commitment to quality control helps identify any deviations from the design, ensuring that the structure will perform as intended.
- Risk Assessment: Fenagh’s geotechnical engineers meticulously assess potential hazards such as landslides, soil liquefaction, and settlement issues. They provide recommendations to mitigate these risks during construction and throughout the structure’s lifespan.
