GEOTECHNICAL & HYDROGEOLOGY

FLEXIBLE. DEPENDABLE. ON-SITE ENGINEERING.

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

HYDROGEOLOGY

Combined with an in-house Well Contractor license, King EPCM is able to expertly assess the underground hydrogeological formation at any project site. King EPCM has a large wealth of experience:

  • Groundwater levels and recharge rates

  • Groundwater flow direction

  • Equipotential groundwater plan

  • Infiltration & recharge rate calculation

  • Groundwater quality assessment

  • Groundwater contamination & delineation mapping

  • Fulfillment of TRCA, LSRCA, CVC, or other conservation requirements
