Soil Testing
Geotechnical soil testing and site investigation to inform safe foundation design.
Service Overview
Foundation failures are costly and preventable. IvanZ Construction provides geotechnical soil testing and site investigation to give engineers and clients the data needed for safe, economical foundation design.
Our testing services cover soil bearing capacity, compaction verification, material suitability for road subgrades, and foundation recommendation reporting.
We support building projects, road contracts, and industrial developments across Africa with field testing and clear, actionable reports.
What's included
- Soil bearing capacity testing
- Site geotechnical investigation
- Foundation recommendation reports
- Compaction and material testing

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our soil testing service.
When is soil testing required?+
Soil testing is recommended before any significant building or road project, and is essential for multi-storey structures, bridges, and sites with unknown or variable ground conditions.
How deep do you investigate?+
Investigation depth depends on the proposed structure. We scope boreholes and test pits to reach the bearing stratum relevant to your foundation design.
Do you test road construction materials?+
Yes. We provide compaction testing and CBR testing for road subgrade and pavement layer verification.
