Project Overview
Comprehensive geotechnical investigation and foundation recommendations for a planned residential building with basement and multiple floors.
Challenge
The site in Maadi presented variable soil conditions with alternating clay and sandy layers as well as a shallow groundwater table. The client required a clear geotechnical assessment to ensure safe, durable, and cost-effective foundation solutions for the proposed development
Our Approach
Our geotechnical team implemented a comprehensive program of field and laboratory investigations, including borehole drilling, groundwater observations, and detailed soil testing. These studies allowed us to establish a clear soil profile and evaluate the engineering properties of the ground. Based on these findings, we provided the client with practical foundation strategies tailored to the site conditions. For areas with moderate loading, shallow foundations supported by improved soil layers were recommended as a cost-effective solution. For more demanding loading conditions, we outlined deep foundation alternatives to ensure long-term safety and serviceability. Throughout, our focus was on balancing structural performance, construction feasibility, and cost efficiency. Additional safeguards such as groundwater control, soil replacement where necessary, and the use of durable materials were also highlighted to support successful implementation.
