Geotechnical services performed by KTI involve geotechnical explorations and engineering analyses including field and laboratory applications. Fieldwork for geotechnical exploration includes boring layout and elevation determination, drilling and sampling of test borings and drafting boring logs. Recommendations include soil and rock bearing capacities, foundation types, site preparation and pavement design parameters.

 


Laboratory work includes testing and analyzing soil samples and reporting test results. The production of geotechnical reports is accomplished using both field and laboratory data to aid KTI in presenting the findings, analyzing results and making subsequent recommendations related to each specific project.
