Soil Testing, ERT, CBR and SBC for Construction Projects in Gujarat

Before any foundation is designed, the most important step is understanding the soil.

Safe Bearing Capacity (SBC) determines how much load the soil can safely carry. This directly affects footing size, structural design and long-term performance of the building.

At GTSM Testing Labs LLP (Geotech, Structural and Materials Testing Labs), we provide complete soil investigation services covering both field and laboratory testing.

Our Soil Investigation Services

• Borehole drilling using auger method

• Standard Penetration Test (SPT)

• Soil sampling and laboratory testing as per IS 2720 series

• SBC calculation and foundation recommendations

Why Additional Tests Like ERT and CBR Matter

• Electrical Resistivity Test (ERT)

ERT helps identify subsurface variations, rock depth and groundwater conditions. This is useful in planning borehole locations and understanding changes in soil strata across the site.

• California Bearing Ratio (CBR)

CBR testing is essential for roads, pavements and industrial yards. It helps determine soil strength and supports proper design of pavement layers for long-term performance.

Soil Chemical Testing

We also test soil for parameters such as sulphate, chloride and pH, which can impact foundation materials and durability over time.

Why Choose Us

• NABL Accredited Laboratory

• Complete service from drilling to final report

• Reports structured for direct use by structural engineers

• Serving residential, commercial and industrial projects across Gujarat

If you are planning construction, start with proper soil testing to ensure the foundation is designed based on actual ground conditions.
