Laboratory works
As part of the company, the LLC «Center for Engineering and Geological Surveys and Design» Geosphere» operates a laboratory that performs a complex of laboratory works aimed at a detailed study of the physical and mechanical characteristics of soils, as well as the study of the chemical composition of soils, soils, sediments and natural waters.
The results of laboratory studies are necessary to predict the effect of soil properties and the ecosystem as a whole on the reliability and durability of future structures (gas and oil pipelines, plants, bridges, roads, power lines, etc.). Competent and professional approach of our experts to conduct laboratory work guarantees the receipt of reliable test results and measurements.
Our laboratory conducts a reliable quantitative comprehensive assessment of soil properties, which is the key to accurate prediction of the sediment of buildings and structures, the stability of slopes and slopes, the design of economical and reliable foundation designs.
