Studies & Testing
United Group provides a full spectrum of field and laboratory studies to support safe,
code-compliant design and construction. Our scope covers geological and geophysical surveys,
geotechnical investigations, hydrological and environmental studies, topographic and hydrographic
surveys, in addition to certified lab testing for soil, rock, water and construction materials. All work
follows internationally recognized standards (ASTM, BS and ISO) and is delivered by experienced,
certified engineers.
We help clients reduce project risk and verify design assumptions with accurate,
standards-compliant data and clear technical recommendations.
Safety & reliability you can measure
– On-site investigations (SPT, CPT, pressuremeter, plate load tests)
– Borehole drilling & sampling with logging
– Groundwater level & quality monitoring
– Materials & soil mechanics testing (lab-certified)
Engineering deliverables
– Borehole logs, field test sheets & lab certificates
– Geotechnical parameters and foundation recommendations
– Settlement and bearing capacity assessments
– Dewatering, slope stability & soil improvement advice
– Final technical report and consultant follow-up
research beyond the business plan
We review project requirements, assess site constraints and
define the study scope, tests and standards needed for reliable results.
Certified teams perform on-site tests and collect
representative samples under standard procedures to ensure data integrity.
Samples are analyzed in certified labs. Results are
processed and interpreted by specialists to inform safe design and compliance.
Standards & methods
A dependable study is built on recognized codes and proven methods. United Group executes
testing in accordance with:
– ASTM, BS and ISO standards for soil, rock, concrete and water testing.
– Geophysics (ERT, seismic refraction, GPR, MASW) for subsurface imaging.
– Survey control via GPS, total station and UAV where applicable.
We provide complete documentation suitable for authority submissions and design verification.
