Geotechnical Services

GIMLAS Integrated Services Limited has the capability and capacity to efficiently obtain information on the physical properties of the soil and rock around a site. These properties are used to design earthworks and foundations for proposed structures and for repairs of distress to earthworks and structures caused by subsurface conditions. The objectives of subsurface investigation are to determine the physical, mechanical, sequence and nature of the subsurface strata (geologic regime) and also to determine groundwater conditions (hydrologic regime). GIMLAS uses state of the art technology to carry out soil investigation and analysis. This has enabled us to efficiently perform in-situ testing and collect soil and water samples for testing in the laboratory for quality. We also use geophysical methods such as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) and Vertical Electric Sounding (VES) to obtain subsurface data about a site.
