Our Soil Testing Services: Standards, Sample Requirements, and Project Benefits
Here is an overview of the soil tests we offer, the standards we adhere to, the minimum sample quantities required, and the unique benefits each test provides to support your project:
Key Soil Testing Services We Offer
- Particle Size Distribution
- Standard: IS 2720 Part-4
- Sample Quantity: 25 kg
- Benefits: Helps determine soil texture and suitability for construction, impacting stability and drainage, key for foundational work.
- Specific Gravity
- Standard: IS 2720 Part-3
- Sample Quantity: 5 kg
- Benefits: Determines soil composition, crucial for compaction and stability, which are vital for foundation support and longevity.
- Water Content-Dry Density Relation by Light Compaction
- Standard: IS 2720 Part-7
- Sample Quantity: 25 kg
- Benefits: Identifies the optimal moisture content for compaction, essential for stable, load-bearing foundations.
- Water Content-Dry Density Relation by Heavy Compaction
- Standard: IS 2720 Part-8
- Sample Quantity: 25 kg
- Benefits: Similar to light compaction but utilises heavy compaction for soil density and moisture assessment in high-compaction projects.
- Liquid Limit & Plastic Limit
- Standard: IS 2720 Part-5
- Sample Quantity: 5 kg
- Benefits: Predicts soil behaviour under changing moisture levels, managing risks of expansion or contraction.
- California Bearing Ratio (CBR)
- Standard: IS 2720 Part-16
- Sample Quantity: 25 kg
- Benefits: Assesses soil strength under load, providing a benchmark for road and pavement design.
- Free Swelling Index
- Standard: IS 2720 Part-40
- Sample Quantity: 5 kg
- Benefits: Measures soil's potential to swell in water, identifying and mitigating expansion risks.
- Direct Shear & Angle of Friction (c & φ)
- Standard: IS 2720 Part-13
- Sample Quantity: 25 kg
- Benefits: Evaluates shear strength and friction angle, offering insights into soil stability and load-bearing capacity.
- Dry Density of Soil by Sand Replacement
- Standard: IS 2720 Part-28
- Sample Requirement: 5 locations
- Benefits: Measures in-situ dry density for understanding on-site compaction and soil stability.
- Dry Density of Soil by Core Cutter
- Standard: IS 2720 Part-29
- Sample Requirement: 5 locations
- Benefits: Quickly and accurately determines in-situ dry density, ensuring on-site compaction quality and safety.
