Comprehensive Geotechnical Testing Portfolio
We deploy specialized drilling rigs, field equipment, and certified laboratory procedures to measure foundation support capacity and subgrade behavior.
Soil Testing Laboratory
Our dedicated laboratory facilities perform physical, mechanical, and chemical index properties on representative soil samples extracted from project sites.
Geotechnical Investigation
Comprehensive subsurface profiling, exploratory boreholes, and strata mapping to provide foundational design recommendations for multi-story structures.
Soil Bearing Capacity Test
Evaluating safe ultimate load limits and anticipated settlement thresholds to dictate shallow or deep foundation selection for engineering projects.
Standard Penetration Test (SPT)
In-situ dynamic borehole testing measuring soil resistance and relative density profiles across varying depths for structural foundation design.
Plate Load Test
Full-scale field loading assessment performed at foundation depth to determine ultimate bearing capacity and immediate modulus of subgrade reaction.
Field Density Test
Core cutter and sand replacement techniques used on-site to verify compaction levels and dry density of earthworks and backfill layers.
California Bearing Ratio (CBR) Test
Evaluating subgrade soil strength and flexible pavement thickness requirements for highways, runways, and industrial flooring designs.
Soil Compaction Test
Standard and modified Proctor tests determining optimal moisture content (OMC) and maximum dry density (MDD) parameters for earth fill control.
Soil Classification Test
Particle size distribution analysis via sieve/hydrometer and Atterberg limits testing to categorize soils per unified engineering standards.
Soil Chemical Analysis
Quantifying aggressive chemical properties including sulphate and chloride content, organic matter, and pH levels to evaluate concrete foundation corrosion risks.
Uncompromising Precision in Foundation Soil Investigations
Every resilient structure begins below ground level. At Jacob Engineers, our comprehensive Geotechnical Investigation workflows are meticulously structured to remove subsurface uncertainty. Whether executing an accurate Standard Penetration Test (SPT) or a full-scale Plate Load Test, our field engineering teams capture true-to-site structural metrics.
From determining maximum compaction limits via the Soil Compaction Test and checking pavement subgrade strength through the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) Test, to routine quality control using the Field Density Test, our accredited Soil Testing Laboratory delivers legally defensible data. We cross-verify material boundaries with a rigorous Soil Classification Test, calculate safe load thresholds using a Soil Bearing Capacity Test, and analyze subsurface chemical aggression through detailed Soil Chemical Analysis to safeguard your long-term capital investments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Technical answers for structural consultants, project managers, and geotechnical engineers.
Geotechnical investigations identify subsurface stratification, groundwater tables, and load-bearing profiles, allowing engineers to design safe, cost-effective shallow or deep foundations.
The SPT records the blow count (N-value) required to drive a standard sampler into the soil, providing direct correlations to soil shear strength, relative density, and bearing capacity.
The CBR test measures the shearing resistance of subgrade soil under controlled compaction and moisture conditions, directly dictating sub-base thickness requirements for roads and pavements.
High concentrations of soluble sulphates and chlorides present in foundation soils can trigger severe chemical attacks on concrete and corrode steel reinforcement, necessitating protective mix designs.
