Boreholes & logging
Exploratory drilling with engineering descriptions of recovered soil or rock and groundwater observations.
Foundation Engineering · Islamabad
Geotechnical Investigation in Islamabad
A coordinated subsurface investigation for buildings and infrastructure, covering field exploration, testing and engineering interpretation for foundation design.
Investigation Strategy
Investigation planned around the structure
A geotechnical investigation should answer project-specific engineering questions: what strata will support the structure, how variable the ground is, whether fill or weak layers are present, what settlement may occur and which foundation system is practical.
GEOMATRIX plans field and laboratory work around the available structural information, site access and required design outputs.
Technical Scope
Core geotechnical work
SPT & sampling
Field resistance testing and representative sampling at selected depths according to the investigation scope.
Laboratory testing
Classification and engineering-property testing selected to suit the encountered materials and design questions.
Foundation analysis
Bearing capacity, settlement, shallow-foundation or pile-related parameters and recommendations as required by the project.
Applications
Where the service is used
- Residential and commercial developments
- Multi-storey and basement structures
- Industrial facilities and power projects
- Bridges, roads and infrastructure
- Housing schemes and development projects
- Foundation review and ground-improvement planning

FAQ
Common project questions
When should geotechnical investigation be done?
Preferably before final foundation design so the structural engineer can use site-specific ground parameters and recommendations.
Can the investigation support basement design?
Yes. Where requested, the investigation can address strata at excavation level, groundwater observations, foundation options and geotechnical considerations relevant to basement construction.
Can GEOMATRIX mobilize outside Islamabad?
Yes. Project mobilization can be arranged across Pakistan subject to scope, access and logistics.
Need a technical quotation for your site?
Send the site location, proposed structure, plot or project dimensions, basement information if applicable, and available drawings. GEOMATRIX can propose an investigation or testing scope based on the project requirements.
