Method of testing's
Geotechnical Group provide the consultancy services for studying the project design
and propose a suitable geotechnical investigation, based on that investigation,
engineering requirements & suggestion has to be made to the customer and study the
technical specification of construction materials and propose the test methods &
requirements Quality Assurance document to be submitted and as per QA Document
testing & field verification shall carried out to confirm the engineering requirements
meet.
