Geotechnical Engineering

Specialized geotechnical investigations are provided by an experienced in-house team of geotechnical engineers and engineering technologists. The professional staff have extensive experience in geotechnical investigations and other exploratory works.

SIRATI & Partners has its own soils testing laboratory facilities which enables us to provide quick and accurate services. Our Field Technicians will also perform all density testing and field observations at the job site.

Why Choose SIRATI?

Our skilled team of geotechnical professionals, engineers, technologists and technicians are highly experienced in delivering routine and complex geotechnical designs founded on the basis of cost-effective, practical and timely solutions. We have a long and proven track record of working with clients to optimize the geotechnical and civil earthworks design to ensure that a high-quality product can be constructed at reasonable costs.

SIRATI utilizes a combination of detailed ground investigations; advanced technologies in quality data gathering techniques; advanced laboratory testing; and designs to provide practicable solutions for difficult ground conditions.  We have numerous case studies where advanced investigation techniques have resulted in significant cost savings.

Coupled with our advanced investigation and design, we offer routine materials engineering services such as material testing and advanced construction quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) testing on both routine and highly complicated projects.  Our field staff work closely with the engineering team to ensure that construction difficulties are identified early, dealt with quickly with minimal delay, hence minimizing or eliminating contractor extras.

We also offer resident field engineering services.
