- Subsurface Investigations for Road construction Akoka Lagos
Services Overview
This project focused on conducting detailed geotechnical and geophysical investigations to support the planned road construction in the Akoka area of Lagos. Given the coastal location and variable subsurface conditions, the objective was to assess soil integrity, groundwater levels, and bearing capacity to inform safe and cost-effective pavement and structural design.
Our multidisciplinary team deployed electrical resistivity, cone penetration tests, and borehole drilling to gather data on soil layers, water table, and load-bearing potential. The findings were analyzed to recommend optimal foundation design, subgrade treatment, and material specifications for long-term road durability.
Step by Step Projects
We approach all infrastructure support projects with scientific rigor and engineering precision. Here’s how we executed this one:
- Performed site reconnaissance and topographical mapping
- Conducted resistivity imaging and geophysical profiling to map subsurface conditions
- Drilled boreholes and recovered soil samples for laboratory classification and testing
- Measured groundwater depth and seasonal fluctuation zones
- Analyzed bearing capacity, moisture content, and settlement characteristics
- Delivered a geotechnical report with foundation recommendations and construction guidelines
Other Specialty
Our experience in subsurface investigations for urban infrastructure ensures road projects are built on solid ground. With a blend of data-driven insights and field-tested methodologies, we help reduce construction risks, cost overruns, and premature failures.
