SINCE 1991
SOIL INVESTIGATION
Geotechnical engineering is the study of the behavior of soils under the influence of loading forces and soil-water interactions.
Gayatri Geotechnic Research, founded in the year 1991, provides geotechnical services including site investigation, sampling & testing, & recommendations for development & construction .
With our vast experience spanning over 32 years and a team of highly skilled and competent personnel, we are capable of handling geotechnical investigations right from the initial boring at site to the sampling of field specimens and subsequent testing of the sampled specimens at our testing laboratory, accredited by NABL vide Certificate Number TC- 11464.
The sampled specimens can be tested for a wide range of parameters, ranging from physical characteristics to shear parameters for the calculation of soil bearing capacities (SBC) and subsequent designing of both shallow and deep foundations.
Our highly detailed Geotechnical Report provides an in depth evaluation and study of the soil strata and provides crucial parameters which can be used for the designing of future foundations.
We have conducted numerous Geotechnical Investigations not only in the industrial sectors of Dahej, Saykha, Jhagadia, Jambusar in Bharuch district but for several other projects in Vadodara, Ahmedabad and PAN India for many marquee clients.

BITUMEN testing
We provide testing facilities for the determination of Bitumen Content, Flow Value using Marshall Stability Test and others, crucial in the laying of pavement.
WATER testing
Testing of Water Samples to check for characteristics such as pH level, Turbidity, Biological parameters such as BOD & COD, and to check if water is safe for human consumption.
SURVEYING
Surveying has been an element in the development of the human environment since the beginning of recorded history. The planning and execution of most forms of construction require it & it is also an important tool for research in many other disciplines.
Gayatri Geotechnic Research offers complete survey solutions in the form of Topographic Survey, Contour Survey, Route Surveys, Pipeline Surveys, As-Built Survey, DGPS Survey and as required by the client. Surveying is also required as a pre-requisite for Geotechnical Investigation to mark the bore locations and other field test points.
Our service also includes preparation of Survey maps, AutoCAD drawings, KLM files for the survey conducted. Our skilled team of surveyors is capable of handling and completing surveys for projects of all types and sizes.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING
Gayatri Geotechnic Research offers Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) services to evaluate the properties of a material, component or structure without compromising the structural integrity or changing the properties of the tested member. Following NDT Services are offered:
Rebound Hammer Tests
The rebound hammer method provides a convenient and rapid indication of the compressive strength of concrete by means of establishing a suitable correlation between the rebound index and the compressive strength of concrete.
Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity Test
This test is conducted by passing a pulse of ultrasonic through concrete to be tested and measuring the time taken by pulse to get through the structure. Higher velocities indicate good quality and continuity of the material, while slower velocities may indicate concrete with many cracks or voids.
Carbonation Tests
Concrete carbonation causes embedded steel reinforcements to corrode, with the resulting expansion cracking and weakening the concrete. The concrete specimen is sprayed with an indicator solution (phenolphthalein) and the resulting color indicates the level of carbonation.
Half Cell Potential Test
Half cell potential measurements involve measuring the potential of an embedded reinforcing bar relative to a reference half cell potential placed on the concrete surface, to help determine the corrosion of reinforcement steel.
Concrete Core Testing
If other NDT methods do not provide satisfactory results, concrete cores of required sizes can be extracted from the testing areas by core cutter machines, which shall then be tested in the laboratory for further analysis.
Cover Meter Test
Used to determine the cover, i.e., the least distance between the surface of embedded reinforcement and the outer surface of the concrete.
FIELD TESTING
PLATE LOAD TEST
Performed to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of the soil and the probable settlement under a given load. This test is very popular for the selection and design of the shallow foundation. We provide Plate load testing with detailed report including SBC calculations based on test observations.
PILE LOAD TEST
We perform Lateral Pile load tests, Vertical Pile load tests (Static, Dynamic, Cyclic) & Pull-out tests on piles to determine the ultimate & safe load carrying capacities of piles. We offer complete pile test solutions from testing to preparation of detailed report.
PILE INTEGRITY TESTS
Pile Integrity Testing is a qualitative evaluation of the physical dimensions, continuity of a pile, and consistency of the pile material. Forms an integral and crucial testing parameter in the construction of large scale projects.
STATIC (SCPT) & DYNAMIC (DCPT) CONE PENETRATION TESTS
DCPT is carried out to determine the resistance value of the cone against the soil that helps in determining different mechanical properties of soil such as strength, bearing capacity, and so on.
SCPT involves the penetration of a cone inside the ground and measures the cone resistance, friction resistance, friction ratio and pore water pressure to determine the soil type, density, in-situ stress conditions & shear parameters of the soil.
ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY
The ERT method is an electrical testing method where current is induced in the ground using two current electrodes. The electrical potential drop is then read using two other electrodes. This test is useful to determine the potential for corrosion of pipes and other underground facilities to be constructed in the sub-surface.
.... AND MANY OTHER FIELD TESTS
In addition to the above field tests, we offer several other tests which include Field CBR, Field moisture content using Rapid Hydrometer, Sand Replacement Method, Field Vane Shear Test, Soil Thermal Resistivity and many others. Reach out to us for your field testing requirements!
