GEOTECHNICAL & HYDROGEOLOGY

BEARING CAPACITY TEST

Shallow depth bearing capacity test (ASTM D3441) is a quick and flexible soils test intended for residential properties & smaller projects with a maximum depth of 10ft. The test provides the structural integrity and overall capacity of the soil for a building.

​

Full depth SPT (Standard Penetration Test ASTM D1586) is a full and comprehensive test that determines the structural integrity of soils at all the soil intervals. The test is intended for industrial & commercial developments that need a full geotechnical review before an architectural design is commissioned.

EXCAVATION INSPECTION & TESTING

King EPCM offers unsurpassed flexibility, and is often brought into the project once an issue is encountered. For projects without pre-construction geotechnical testing, or where confirmation is required before the concrete foundation is laid, King EPCM offers:

• Proctor compaction testing (ASTM D698)

• Standard density & moisture testing (ASTM D1156 & D4643)

• Excavation dewatering & trench inspection

• Soils slope stability & operational stability inspection
