Geo - Technical Investigation

Qualitex offers a range of soil investigation techniques for both geotechnical and environmental projects across India. Committed to meeting the geotechnical and environmental needs of today’s developers, it aims to deliver cost-effective, efficient, and reliable ground investigation services.

Salient features

  • Team of well qualified engineers / personnel in Geotechnics.
  • Qualitex has completed over 400 investigations and boasts an impeccable track record.
  • Strong analytical capability including basement construction, Pile Group, Retaining Wall and Slope Stability Analysis.


Site Investigation is an essential part to the successful completion of any civil engineering or building project. Qualitex provides the full process as below:-

  • Desk Study

    Desk Study reports trace the historical development of the site along with identification of potential contamination issues which may affect the development.

  • Ground Investigation

    Design of investigation appropriate to the development and anticipated ground conditions to ensure best advice is given to formulate economic and safe design.

  • Contamination Assessment

    Assessment of levels of contaminants in soil and water reviewed in respect of the development and associated risks.

  • Geotechnical Analysis

    Where ground movement may affect a development we can undertake detailed analysis such as slope stability or heave to assist structural design.

  • Field Work

    Qualitex provides a comprehensive range of exploratory methods, including rotary boreholes, window sampling, in-situ testing, and trial pits. Fieldwork is overseen by our experienced Geotechnical Engineers and Supervisors, who closely monitor progress to ensure that accurate and relevant data is collected for the proposed development.

  • Analytical Capability

    All necessary analysis is carried out in-house using both in-house and commercial computer programs such as Autocad and Winlog, Winfence software for Borelog and Soil Profiles.
