Topographic Survey The goal of a topographic survey is to gain a detailed understanding
details about the elevation, contours, and other physical characteristics of
an object certain geographic area.
GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar) Survey A non-destructive method for mapping subsurface structures is GPR surveying. This technique makes use of a radar signal that is sent into the earth and subsequently bounced off of subsurface objects or layers. Using GPR surveys, it is possible to create a 2D or 3D picture of an item or structure underground by examining the radar wave reflection patterns. Geoelectric Survey This method involves sending an electric current into the ground through
electrodes and the measurement of the potential produced by the current
using other electrodes. By analyzing the current distribution and
potential, variations in resistivity or electrical conductivity can be identified
in the soil, which provides information about the structure and
geological composition.

Hydrogeological Mapping The process of gathering, evaluating, and mapping information regarding the
characteristics of groundwater, groundwater flows, and the potential of aquifers in
an area is known as hydrogeological mapping. Understanding aquifer networks,
subsurface water circulation, and the presence of water sources in a region are the
primary goals of hydrogeological mapping.
Well Construction In hydrogeology, well construction is the physical process of
digging water wells to access and use subsurface water sources.
Water wells are used to obtain water from aquifers beneath the
earth. Drilling the wellbore, lining and cementing the well walls,
and installing the appropriate well equipment are all processes
in the well building process.
Pumping Test This technique entails using a pump to draw water from the well
at a predetermined flow rate while keeping an eye on the
aquifer's reaction. Important hydrogeological characteristics
including aquifer transmissivity, aquifer leakage, aquifer
consolidation, and aquifer storage capacity are measured as part
of the pumping test.
HYDROGEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION

Hydrogeological Survey is one of our specialties, which includes underground water exploration drilling, deep well construction, pumping tests, testing of physical properties of water, testing of water quality, and clean water facility equipment.

Hydrogeology is concerned with understanding and applying geological and hydrological concepts to drill, develop, and manage water wells in the context of well construction. In the context of hydrogeology, the following is an explanation of well construction:

  1. Water Source Mapping: Prior to the start of construction, a hydrogeological research was conducted to map probable water sources. Geological analysis, groundwater evaluation, and hydrological monitoring are used to determine aquifer layers that are likely to hold enough water.

  2. Well Design: A suitable well design is made based on the mapping of water sources. In order to design a well, the desired water demand must be taken into account when choosing the well's location, depth, and diameter.

  3. Well Drilling: The drilling procedure begins once the well design is authorized. Drilling is done with specialized equipment capable of penetrating soil or rock formations in order to reach the desired aquifer. Monitoring and soil samples are carried out during drilling to better understand the geological and hydrological conditions surrounding the well.

  4. Well Lining: Once the well has reached the appropriate depth, it is lined with well tubing that is resistant to water pressure and corrosion. This coating protects the well from contamination and helps to keep the well structurally sound.

  5. Installation of a Filter and Gravel Pack System: A filter and gravel pack system is installed around the well liner to keep sand and other materials out of the well. This technology allows water to enter the well while keeping the water quality high.

  6. Groundwater Testing and Production Measurement: After the well is completed, groundwater tests are performed to determine the aquifer's properties and the well's water capacity. Water production is also measured to assess the amount of water that can be produced by the well.

  7. Well Monitoring: Once a well is operational, it is subjected to frequent monitoring to ensure good water quality and well performance. This include collecting water samples, evaluating water levels, observing water output, and analyzing water quality to ensure that the water produced is safe and fulfills specifications.

The use of hydrogeological concepts in well building is critical for ensuring efficient water resource management, maintaining acceptable water quality, and meeting the essential water needs. Hydrogeologists and geotechnical engineers are critical in evaluating aquifer conditions, selecting appropriate building methods, and assuring water well long-term success.

Large Scale Direct Shear The Large Scale Direct Shear test for dams is an
important test method in geotechnical and civil
engineering. The primary goal is to evaluate the shear
strength and stability of soil material that will be
employed as a base layer in dam building.
Grouting Test Grouting is the process of filling or cementing gaps or cavities in buildings or soil
with a mixture of materials such as cement, bentonite, epoxy, polymer, urethane,
and other chemicals combined with water or other substances. Grouting is used
to improve the physical and mechanical qualities of the building or soil that is
being repaired or improved.
SPECIALIST

We provide exceptional services in Large Scale Direct Shear and Grouting as geotechnical specialists. We have tried-and-true equipment and a staff of well-trained employees, so we can guarantee the best quality and outcomes on every project we work on.

1. Large Scale Direct Shear

Pertama Di Indonesia Pengujian Large Scale Direct Shear Terakreditasi SNI ISO/IEC 17025:2017 (Komite Akreditasi Nasional : LP-1747-IDN) Kapasitas Tinggi Bendungan Hingga 100 M Diameter Material Hingga 200 MM

The Large Scale Direct Shear Test (LSDS) is a geotechnical laboratory test method used to determine the shear strength and mechanical properties of soils and rocks. This method includes delivering a shear stress to a bigger soil or rock sample than the traditional direct shear test.

A normal load is delivered to the soil or rock sample using a vertical load during the LSDS test. The shear force is then delivered horizontally by sliding one layer of the box chamber (Box Chamber) against another. Shear and shear forces are measured when a shear force is applied. This information is utilized to compute critical characteristics including shear strength, elastic shear strength, plastic shear strength, and soil deformation.

This test is performed on coarse-grained materials such as Random material, Rockfill, and Dam Filters. This test was performed in a 60x60x48 cm box chamber to assess soil shear strength characteristics such as cohesiveness and soil shear angle.

Large Scale Direct Shear Testing under Two Conditions:

  1. To obtain the assumed value of Shear Strength after construction before flooding, use natural / unsaturated / water unsaturated circumstances.
  2. Circumstances that are saturated with water to obtain the shear strength value during flooding to aid in the determination of dam stability.

The LSDS test gives more realistic and representative information about soil or rock shear strength and shear behavior under significant loads. This method is important for understanding how soil or rock responds to lateral loads, as well as for slope stability studies and the design of retaining walls susceptible to significant shear stresses.

2. Foundation Cementation Test & Implementation (Grouting)

Foundation cementation, also known as grouting, is a technique that involves injecting mixed materials such as cement, water, and chemical additives into gaps or crevices inside the foundation or the surrounding soil. Grouting's primary goal is to strengthen, fill, and increase the stability of the foundation or surrounding soil.

We frequently do Cementation Tests on the Dam building plan, which is performed prior to and concurrently with the implementation of DAM disposal, namely Foundation Cementation work.

Grouting can be used to increase the bearing capacity of foundations, reduce soil movement, fill gaps or voids, reduce water penetration, or improve slope stability. To guarantee that the process is carried out appropriately and successfully in accordance with specific conditions and needs, it is critical to involve competent geotechnical specialists or engineers in the planning, design, and implementation of grouting.

Liquid Limit The goal of this test is to establish the soil's liquid limit, or
the percentage of moisture at which the soil transitions from
a plastic to a liquid condition.
Grain Size Analysis a technique for determining the grain size distribution in a
soil or aggregate sample. This examination aids in
understanding the particle content composition as well as
the physical properties of the soil or aggregates.
Natural Water Content The proportion by weight of water present in a soil or rock
sample under natural conditions with no extra influence is
referred to as natural water content. Natural water content is
critical in geotechnical investigations and soil science
because it impacts the material's physical and mechanical
characteristics.
LABORATORY TEST

Geotechnical Laboratory Tests are a series of physical and mechanical tests performed in a laboratory on soil and rock samples. The goal of this test is to understand the material's geotechnical and mechanical qualities, which will be used in construction planning and design.
