While doing construction you should check soil of your place

Soil testing has become much more prominent these days due to sudden calamities & natural disasters like earthquakes, landslides etc. These disasters have shaken the mankind.

People have now realised that without soil investigation buildings can collapse or rendered non-functional for intended purpose. They are realising the importance of soil test before construction of a new building & have started investing in the costs and doing budgeting for their project.

Soil testing is a procedure to determine the work ability of the soil that is to be located beneath a Structure. By drilling a series of boreholes, the sites soil may be examined and the obtained samples are sent over to the laboratory for further assessment. The results of the examination is then compiled into a report and sent over to the structural engineer responsible for the building design in order to determine the best foundation solution for the site.

These tests carried out on site, provides assurance to the client that future foundation movement and settlement issues would have been minimised Further to this the Judgement towards the relevance and extent of testing required should be made during the design stages of a particular project or upon completion of a building inspection report.
One should never underestimate the importance of a detailed building inspection or site soil test report as the unnecessary expenses that could arise in future, be avoided if these preliminary steps are carried out at the right time.

More & more companies are now taking expert services from companies such as Aimil Ltd. for the investigation of their Soil before or during the design stages. Aimil with its Advanced technology & Engineering Services (ATES) division specialises in Soil Testing investigations. ATES has a well-equipped NABL Accredited laboratory for Basic and Advanced Soil Testing Equipment.

Moreover the company also manufactures & market state of the art instruments which assists in soil investigations. In soil testing, almost all the instruments are there with Aimil to carry out tests such as moisture content, Particle size Analysis, shear strength, Triaxial testing, Consolidation & Direct shear test, Plate bearing test and so on.
