Geotechnical Investigation:
  • Extensive vertical, horizontal, inclined drilling operations, both on-shore and offshore, with hydraulic and rotary drilling machines in all kinds of soil and rock
  • Field and laboratory testing as per IS standards including standard penetration test, vane shear test, test pits, density, index properties, compaction parameters, triaxial, direct shear, consolidation, sampling (undisturbed, split spoon, piston and core) etc
  • Testing for physical and chemical parameters for soil and water samples
  • Analysis, test results, sub-soil profile, report with graphical presentation along with recommendations
  • Vertical and cyclic plate load test, static and dynamic cone penetration test, permeability test, block vibration test
  • Boring and fabrications of cage for cast in situ piles varying from 300 to 1,100 mm dia
  • Pile load tests- vertical, uplift, lateral and compressive
 

Geophysical and Stratification Analysis:

  • Electrical resistivity tests, vertical electric sounding, soil resistivity and seismic studies
  • Location of underground utilities and soil stratification using pipeline locator and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
 
Laboratory Testing and Analysis:
  • SECON has one of the largest and well-equipped laboratory for testing the physical and chemical properties of soil and water samples
  • Physical tests - Direct shear, unconfined compression test, consolidation, triaxial shear, California bearing ratio, compaction, sieve analysis, hydrometer analysis, atterberg limits, shrinkage limits, differential free swell index, swelling pressure, swelling potential, permeability, etc
  • UTM for extensive tests on rock and non-destructive testing
  • Chemical tests- Anions, cations, pH, presence of bacteria, organic matter, total dissolved solids and all tests for potability of water using modern digital equipments
  • Material tests- Strength of concrete, steel, aggregates, brick etc
 

Corrosion and Aggressivity Survey for Cross Country Pipelines:

  • Electrical resistivity tests along the alignment, Anode bed for Cathodic Protection
