Soil Lab Testing

Index value and classification of soil is required by geotechnical engineers, farmers, builders, and construction teams to know what a ground lot is comprised of. This is an important step in building and manipulating the ground. Soil Lab Testing helps them to decide which projects are viable by identifying whether a property can withstand certain weight loads for bridges, farms, buildings, roadways, and more.

What is Soil Classification?

Identifying soil type helps engineers to standardise the results of soil tests. These insights help the construction, design and engineering teams to understand how much the soil can support the foundation. The data is also guiding the specialist about how the ground might move during excavation or construction.

Who needs Soil Lab Testing for Classification?

Any lot where construction needs to be done soil lab testing is done to help engineers before planning a new project. Farmers use this information to know whether a piece of land is suitable for a crop growth.

Community leaders use this information to find the best areas for wildlife preserves, community farms, parks, and other recreational areas.
