Geotechnical Projects:
From inception in 1988 till to date (2018),
completed over 350 projects related to Geotechnical Engineering and drilled over 60,000 meters of investigation boreholes and over 3000m of Dynamic Cone Penetration Tests . These projects cover various terrain including plains, deserts, mountains, canals, rivers and off-shore sites.
The Major Geotechnical Investigation Projects include the following:
Land Locations:
- 320 boreholes totalling over 7,000 m were drilled for a single Soil Investigation project of 500 kVA Transmission Line. This project also included additional 314 Nos (3140 m) of Dynamic Cone Penetration Tests (DCPT)
- 112 boreholes totalling about 3,500 m were drilled for Geotechnical Investigation for Islamabad-Peshawar Motorway Project (M-1).
- 50 boreholes totalling about 2,000 m were drilled for Soil Investigation for Bridges on Indus Highway Project.
- 33 boreholes totalling over 1,400 m, including 4 boreholes of 100-150m, were drilled for Darul Khwar & Khan Khwar Hydropower Project.
- 90 Boreholes totalling over 1,855m were drilled for Geological Survey for Preparatory Survey (ii) on Karachi Circular Railway Revival Project, Karachi.
- 90 Boreholes totalling over 2655m were drilled for Geotechnical Investigation at Tricon Boston 3 x 50 MW (Approx.) Wind Power project at JHIMPIR, Sindh.
Under Water Locations:
- 63 boreholes totaling about 2,500 m were drilled at Sukkur Bypass Project. This project included drilling at dry land as well as at underwater locations at River Indus and various Canal crossings.
- 17 boreholes totaling over 400 m were drilled for Soil Investigation for Tractebel Power Plant at Port Qasim. This work involved Offshore locations with water depth over 10 m.
- 42 boreholes totaling over 1200m were drilled for Soil investigation for Cargo Village and Harbor Crossing Project at KPT. This work involved 32 Offshore boreholes in water depth up to 12m and 10 Onshore boreholes.
- 21 Boreholes of over 500m were drilled at Grain & Fertilizer Terminal at Port Qasim Karachi. Work involved offshore boreholes in water depth up to 12m.
- 12 Boreholes of over 360m for LNG Terminal at Port Qasim, Karachi. Work involved 9 offshore boreholes in water depth up to 12m.
