The following is a partial list of services provided.
Foundations are the structures that are built below ground level to support and distribute the load of a building or structure. They are designed to safely transfer the vertical and horizontal stresses of the building to the underlying ground, ensuring the stability and durability of the entire structure. Foundations distribute the weight of the building over a larger area and transfer the loads to the soil layers most suitable to support them.
Stability analysis is a critical component of geotechnical engineering that involves evaluating the stability of soil and rock masses, slopes, embankments, retaining walls, foundations, and other structures. The effective design and efficient solutions to minimize the risk of failure can be done by identifying potential failure modes and evaluating the stability of soil and rock masses and structures.
Material testing is an essential part of civil engineering and is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of structures. Material testing involves examining and analyzing the physical and chemical properties of materials used in construction, such as concrete, steel, asphalt, soil, and rock. The main objective of material testing is to determine the quality and strength of the materials to ensure that they meet the required standards and specifications.
Surveying involves measuring and mapping the physical features of the earth’s surface. It provides essential information about the topography and characteristics of a site, which is necessary for designing and constructing infrastructure project. It includes Topographical survey, Hydrology survey, Contour survey, Hydrogeology survey, Drone survey, Theodolite survey, Dumpy level survey, Traffic survey, Total vehicle count survey.
PIERS delivers high-quality geotechnical testing services, to provide precise and reliable data for understanding soil and rock behaviour under various conditions.
