Geotechnical Investigation Report

Upon completion of the entire field and laboratory work, a formal report containing the procedure adopted for investigation, field observations, detailed bore logs, subsoil sections, field test results, laboratory observations and test results both in tabular as well as graphical form and practical and theoretical considerations for the interpretation of test results is prepared.

Then, as per clients' requirement, a detailed final report is prepared taking into consideration the above parameters and recommendations are made for foundations under different types of structures envisaged in the area under investigation.
