Our Services
Expert Services Designed to Meet Your Needs with Precision
Plate Bearing Test
Our industry-leading plate load test services use a circular steel plate (test plate) of specified plate diameter to assess load-bearing capacity and settlement characteristics of the prepared ground surface. We apply increasing load increments to the test plate using a hydraulic jack, typically using a load cell and other suitable plant to create the necessary reaction load. Our clear reporting includes the maximum load applied, plate size, and assessment of the equivalent CBR value.
CBR Testing
We provide rapid, in situ CBR testing to determine the subgrade reaction of your granular layer or backfilled ground, ensuring your pavement or crane pads meet the actual strength needed. Our experienced engineers test and evaluate the safe bearing capacity, giving you reliable data for every project stage.
Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) Test
The Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) Test offers a fast and efficient method for evaluating ground stiffness and compaction, ideal for projects where time is crucial and a non-destructive, repeatable test is required. Using a portable loading plate and integrated sensors, our LWD services deliver accurate and reliable data about subgrade modulus and compaction quality across a range of soil types and conditions.
