Ensure you are Building on Solid Foundations
For a complete and concise report you will always require; Non Destructive Testing in the form of GPR, Schmidt Hammer and Covermeter Surveys accompanied by Intrusive Investigations in the form of reinforcement exposure and extraction of cores plus Ground Investigation Surveys.
All of the above can be carried out by HTA's Multi Skilled Workforce therefore reducing the requirement to employ and project manage different companies on site.
For engineer safety
it is not possible to excavate a trial pit deeper than 1.25m
without additional shoring measures
HTA Foundation Investigation Services
The following list is not exhaustive, however it gives a good idea of the range of services on offer, if there is something you require that is not listed please get in touch, as we will most likely be able to assist.
- Construction details - GPR used to determine the type of foundation present, pile, strip & pad
- Trial Pitting - determine the depth and extent of foundations
- Coring Investigations - for deeper and quicker foundation depth determination
- Ground Surveys - determine ground conditions with respect to ground bearing pressure. This can be carried out by in-situ shear vane, dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) surveys and Californian bearing ratio (CBR) surveys. Other soil testing on request
HTA Slab Investigation Services
The following list is not exhaustive, however it gives a good idea of the range of services on offer
If there is something you require that is not listed please get in touch, as we will most likely be able to assist- Construction details - concrete slabs investigated for thickness, compressive strength and reinforcement layout by NDT and intrusive methods, the latter requiring the removal of core samples
- Foundation Type - GPR used to determine the type of foundation present, pile, strip & pad
- Ground Surveys - determine ground conditions with respect to ground bearing pressure.
This can be carried out by in-situ shear vane, dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) surveys and in situ Californian bearing ratio (CBR) surveys (See adjacent photo).
