Engineering-geological surveys for construction

Engineering geological surveys represent an indispensable set of field, laboratory, and analytical investigations designed to comprehensively evaluate subsurface soil stratigraphy, physical-mechanical ground parameters, and groundwater conditions across a planned construction site.

A set of engineering-geological works at the construction site to obtain soil data required for the design of foundations and bases.

In Tashkent and across all industrial regions of Uzbekistan, the licensed engineering center GEO PRO delivers certified engineering geological surveys Tashkent in full compliance with national urban planning codes and KMK / ShNK engineering standards.

Conducting comprehensive engineering geological surveys ensures the long-term structural integrity of future facilities. High-precision geotechnical investigations for construction Uzbekistan allow structural engineers to accurately calculate ground bearing capacity, predict settlement behavior, and prevent differential structural cracking.

A timely foundation geotechnical survey Tashkent optimizes zero-cycle construction expenditures, eliminating unnecessary over-dimensioning of raft foundations, pile groups, or retaining wall systems.

When Engineering Geological Surveys are Required for Construction

In compliance with the Urban Planning Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan, comprehensive engineering geological surveys are mandatory for:

• Multi-storey residential developments, high-rise office towers, and commercial complexes;
• Industrial plants, heavy manufacturing facilities, logistics parks, and warehouse hubs;
• Linear infrastructure projects: transport highways, railway corridors, bridge crossings, and utility pipelines;
• Reconstruction, structural underpinning, and vertical expansion of existing facilities;
• Assessing geological hazards such as landslides, karst voids, suffosion, and collapsible soils.

Field Exploration: Geotechnical Drilling and In-Situ Penetration Tests

The fieldwork conducted by GEO PRO begins with visual site reconnaissance, geodetic pegging of borehole coordinates, and setting up the exploration grid.

Our specialized drilling fleet performs advanced geotechnical drilling and core sampling Tashkent with continuous retrieval of undisturbed soil core samples (monoliths) to targeted design depths.

To evaluate soil density and load-bearing resistance in undisturbed natural conditions, we utilize standard cone penetration testing CPT Tashkent, dynamic probing, and in-situ borehole plate load testing. Professional engineering geological surveys rely on precise calibration of all testing equipment.

During borehole drilling, geotechnical specialists determine stabilized groundwater levels, record ingress rates, and collect water samples for laboratory corrosivity evaluation.

Laboratory Assays: Soil and Rock Mechanics Laboratory Testing Uzbekistan

Undisturbed soil monoliths and groundwater samples are delivered directly to our ISO-accredited geotechnical testing laboratory.

Under international ASTM, ISO, and national GOST standards, we perform comprehensive soil and rock mechanics laboratory testing Uzbekistan:

• Particle size distribution analysis (granulometry) and soil classification (sands, silts, loams, clays, and loess);
• Physical index properties: moisture content, dry density, specific gravity, porosity, void ratio, and Atterberg limits;
• Mechanical properties: angle of internal friction, cohesion, and modulus of deformation via triaxial and direct shear tests;
• Collapse potential and initial settlement pressure testing for moisture-sensitive loess soils;
• Expansive soil swell-shrink potential, frost heave susceptibility, and piping suffosion resistance;
• Chemical analysis of soil water extracts to detect chemical aggressiveness against concrete and steel reinforcement.

Cameral Analysis and Geotechnical Report for State Expertise Uzbekistan

Upon concluding field explorations and laboratory testing, our geotechnical engineers perform numerical analytical calculations and computer-aided foundation modeling.

The outcome of our work is an official geotechnical report for state expertise Uzbekistan, fully prepared to pass regulatory scrutiny:

• Comprehensive explanatory note with regional geomorphological, seismological, and climatic characteristics;
• Lithological borehole logs detailing individual geological layers and soil strata;
• Longitudinal and cross-sectional geological profiles plotted along structural building axes;
• Statistical summary tables of normative and calculated physical-mechanical values for each Engineering Geological Unit (EGU);
• Hydrogeological assessment reports regarding groundwater table regimes and seasonal high-water marks;
• Practical foundation design recommendations: optimal foundation depth, pile bearing capacity calculations, and moisture protection;
• Full compliance documentation guaranteed to obtain approval from the State Urban Planning Expertise Board.
