GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING

“Virtually every structure is supported by soil or rock, those that aren’t either fly, float or fall over.” – by Richard L. Handy

In recognition of the said fact that the Geotechnical aspects of infrastructure projects form the backbone for the satisfactory performance of the highway systems, LASA maintains a team of highly qualified and experienced Geotechnical Engineers to provide quality services in the preparation of DPRs and full scale geotechnical reports, for trouble shooting of geotechnical related problems, to provide high grade skilled supervision in areas related to geotechnical activities and to attend to the technical requirements in related fields.

The cost and time consciousness of LASA has been the prime mover to encourage to undertake large scale first use of locally available unconventional material like sand, light weight material like fly ash. LASA uses advanced technology and efficient design system with the aim of providing an excellent end product to the client in consonance with minimum total lifecycle cost.

LASA provides the following specialized services related to Geotechnical & foundation Engineering:

  • Geotechnical investigations both for foundation and high approach embankments.
  • Detailed design of open, pile and well foundations.
  • Detailed design of high approach embankment
  • Detailed design of various ground improvement measures e.g. vertical drain, stone column, geotextile, dynamic compaction, grouting etc.
  • Analysis and design related to swelling and shrinkage, liquefaction, chemically active soil and water etc.
  • Construction supervision and quality control.
  • Construction supervision and quality control.
  • Instrumentation planning, monitoring and data interpretation.
  • Slope protection for High embankment and Hill.
  • Design of reinforced earth wall and steep slope embankment.
  • Design of rock foundation and slope.
