Geotechnical Site Investigations

Know What’s Below Before You Build

SUBINCO investigates subsurface conditions to define soil, groundwater, and geologic conditions that influence foundation design, earthwork, construction, and long-term performance.

01 · EXPLORE THE SITE

See what is happening below the proposed structure

A focused site investigation provides direct information on soil layers, groundwater, and representative subsurface samples.

02 · CHARACTERIZE THE GROUND

Build a reliable subsurface model

Borings
SPT Sampling
Shelby Tubes, SS and Rotary Samples
Groundwater
Laboratory Testing
Soil Profiles
SRT / Seismic
Downhole Seismic
03 · TURN DATA INTO DESIGN

From subsurface data to engineering recommendations

Field Exploration Borings · sampling · groundwater observations · geophysics
Engineering Evaluation Interpret soil behavior, stratigraphy, strength, compressibility, and site variability
Design Recommendations Foundation parameters · settlement · earthwork · excavation · construction guidance
Understand the Ground Develop a site-specific picture of soil, groundwater, and subsurface variability.
Support Foundation Design Provide practical engineering parameters for shallow or deep foundation systems.
Reduce Construction Risk Identify conditions that could affect excavation, earthwork, settlement, or constructability.

From Subsurface Information to Better Design Decisions

The objective is not simply to drill borings — it is to develop a reliable ground model that helps the project team design with greater confidence and fewer surprises.
