Why Soil Testing Is Critical Before Construction
Soil properties control settlement, bearing capacity, and drainage. Testing early prevents failures, delays, and redesigns on highways, airports, and industrial sites.
Common Soil Testing Equipment
- Compaction and density devices: Sand cone, nuclear density, and electrical density gauges for field control.
- Triaxial and shear equipment: Determine strength parameters for embankments and slopes.
- CBR and Marshall systems: Evaluate pavement subgrade and asphalt layers.
- Permeability and consolidation setups: Check drainage and settlement behavior.
Applications in Roads, Foundations & Dams
Geotechnical testing guides pavement thickness, foundation design, dam stability, and earthwork compaction so assets remain safe over their design life.
Soil Testing Standards in the Middle East
Authorities reference ASTM and ISO methods for density, shear, and CBR. Using calibrated equipment and documented procedures keeps submittals compliant for UAE and Saudi projects.
