Field research
Field investigations are a critical phase in geological and geotechnical projects, aimed at directly acquiring information on soil and rock structure, the physical and mechanical properties of soils, and the hydrogeological conditions at the site of a planned development. The accuracy and quality of these investigations have a direct impact on the safety, cost-effectiveness, and technical adequacy of construction projects.
The use of field investigations is essential for foundation design, dimensioning of retaining and anchoring structures, development of stabilization measures, and risk assessment related to settlements, landslides, and groundwater impact. In addition, they provide in-depth insight into the geological and lithological composition of the area, which is crucial for the long-term stability and functionality of both infrastructure and vertical structures.
Services in the area of field research include:
Preparation of an optimal scope and selection of investigation methods according to site characteristics and project requirements.
Mechanical or rotary drilling to obtain data on soil and rock composition.
Standardized field tests for assessing soil strength, compaction, and load-bearing capacity.
Recording and interpretation of soil layer sequences and their physical characteristics.
refers to the placement of measurement devices into the ground for tracking geotechnical conditions over time.
- Inclinometers measure subsurface ground movements (e.g. slips, settlements),
- while piezometers monitor changes in groundwater levels and pore water pressures.
Such monitoring is essential for safe construction and the long-term stability of structures.
Measurement of water table elevations, flow rates, and observation of the presence or changes in the groundwater regime.
Accurate positioning of investigation points and preparation of topographic base maps.
Systematic recording of all activities and measurement results, providing the basis for the final documentation.

Feedback from a construction company: “Working with your company left us with only positive impressions! The geological investigations for our project were carried out professionally and in the shortest possible time. All recommendations were clear and precise, which allowed us to avoid unnecessary costs during the construction phase. Special thanks for the detailed reports and your attentive approach to our requirements!”

We required a geological report for the design of a residential house. The Geoinženiring team responded promptly, carried out the drilling and investigations smoothly, and without complications. Communication with the geologist was clear, professional, and timely. We are very satisfied with their approach.

I commissioned a geological survey for a house construction site and was very satisfied! The experts explained all the results in detail and provided clear recommendations regarding foundation selection. I was impressed by their high level of professionalism and friendly attitude. I highly recommend this company to anyone seeking reliable geological services!
