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
