Geotechnical Investigations (Soil Test)
Quartz is one of the leading Geotechnical Investigation firms in Nepal.
Established in 2015, and led by a team Tribhuvan University graduates, we have successfully completed over 200 projects across Nepal. Our project line-up includes major hydropower Projects and mining projects, bridges, transmission lines, commercial & residential buildings, etc.
Our in-house Geotechnical Investigation capabilities include:
- Drilling Exploratory Boreholes through Soil upto 10 m depth using our mechanised and manual drilling rigs, by constructing a test pit and trial pits whichever suitable for the geographical condition.
- Standard Penetration Test (SPT) using manual moneky-hammer syste trip hammer system
- Undisturbed soil sampling using Shelby tubes, Piston sampler
- Static Cone Penetration Test (SCPT) using mechanical cone
- Field Vane Shear test (VST) for in-situ characterization of soft clays
- Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DCPT)
- Dynamic Cone Penetration Test (DCP) using TRL Method
- Field CBR test
- Single and Double Packer Field Permeability Test
- Electrical Resistivity Test (ERT) using KEW 4106
- Full-scale pump-out tests for design of dewatering systems
