Exploratory drilling
Boreholes advanced to depths selected for the proposed structure and anticipated influence zone.
Rawalpindi Soil & Foundation Services
Soil Testing in Rawalpindi
Geotechnical field investigation and laboratory testing for residential, commercial and infrastructure projects across Rawalpindi and surrounding development areas.
Ground Conditions
Why site-specific testing matters
Ground conditions can change significantly between plots and development areas. Existing fill, natural soil, gravelly layers, weathered rock and groundwater conditions can all affect foundation selection and settlement performance.
A site-specific investigation provides the structural designer with evidence from the actual project location rather than relying only on generalized assumptions.
Field & Lab
Investigation components
SPT
Standard Penetration Testing at selected intervals to characterize in-situ resistance.
Sample testing
Laboratory classification and engineering tests selected according to recovered materials.

FAQ
Common project questions
Do you test residential plots in Rawalpindi?
Yes. GEOMATRIX undertakes residential plot investigations as well as commercial and infrastructure assignments, with the scope selected for the proposed construction.
Can filled plots be investigated?
Yes. Borehole logging and testing can help establish fill thickness and the nature of underlying strata so that foundation or ground-improvement recommendations can be developed.
Will the report provide a bearing capacity value?
Where bearing-capacity assessment is part of the agreed scope, the report can provide design recommendations based on field and laboratory data and the proposed foundation conditions.
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.
