Safe, economical foundations
Design is based on actual ground conditions.
Geotechnical Investigation
Geotechnical Investigation
Soil exploration, SPT and laboratory testing from an NABL-accredited laboratory (Certificate No. TC-12444).
Overview
Ground characterisation informs safe, economical foundation and earthworks design. Soil exploration, standard penetration testing and laboratory investigation, carried out through MYTHCON's NABL-accredited testing laboratory (Certificate No. TC-12444), establish the ground conditions a project is actually built on.
Every foundation design starts with knowing the ground. Boreholes, in-situ tests such as the Standard Penetration Test, and laboratory testing describe the soil and rock profile, its strength, compressibility and groundwater. Our laboratory is NABL-accredited (Certificate No. TC-12444).

Frequently Asked Questions
How many boreholes are needed?
It depends on the site size, variability and structure type; the plan follows the applicable code and project needs.
What does NABL accreditation mean for my report?
The laboratory has been independently assessed for its testing competence, which adds credibility to the results.
