Onshore and offshore Geo-technical investigations at the port of Mombasa

Onshore and offshore Geo-technical investigations at the port of Mombasa under a contract awarded by Toyo Construction Co., Ltd for the expansion of the second container terminal, phase two.

The contract involves drilling of 3 confirmatory boreholes in order to gather soil and core samples as part of reclamation works at berths 20 and 21.

Why are Geo-technical Surveys Needed?

Geotechnical investigations are executed by geotechnical engineers and geologists to acquire information regarding the physical characteristics of soil and rocks. The purpose of geotechnical investigations is to design earthworks and foundations for structures, and to execute earthwork repairs necessitated due to changes in the subsurface environment. A geotechnical examination includes surface and subsurface exploration, soil sampling, and laboratory analysis. Geotechnical investigations are also known as foundation analysis, soil analysis, soil testing, soil mechanics, and subsurface investigation. The samples are examined prior to the development of the location. Geotechnical investigations have acquired substantial importance in preventing human and material damage due to the earthquakes, foundation cracks, and other catastrophes. Geotechnical investigations can be as simple as conducting only a visual assessment of the site or as detailed as a computer-aided study of the soil using laboratory tests.
