The Geotechnical and Engineering Geology Department has been established to provide the following services:
This group, with all the necessary equipment and supplies, is capable of performing all types of exploratory drilling and field tests. The most important equipment includes the following: pressureometry, cone penetration or CPT, standard penetration tests, in-situ cutting, blade cutting, plate loading, trench edge loading, in-situ density (large and small), permeability by Lefran and Lugen methods, geophysical tests (seismic and electrical), test injection, and …
These studies are carried out for various projects such as offshore projects, dams, subways, factories, residential and industrial buildings, roads, tunnels and excavations:
Marine geotechnical surveys are very important for determining the subsurface conditions of marine structures. The company, with a jack-up rig, has the ability to deploy and drill boreholes in the seabed up to a water depth of 17 meters. So far, more than 10 projects have been completed in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.The most important of them are the marine geotechnical studies of the Haqqani Port Development Plan in Bandar Abbas, the flare area of Phase 12 of South Pars, the Marzbani Pier in Bandar Abbas, the Marzbani Pier in Bushehr, the flare area of the Kangan Petrochemical Development Project, the water transfer line to the Persian Gulf Star Refinery Reservoir, the water transfer pipeline to the Saqi Kosar Desalination Plant in Bandar Abbas, and the water transfer line to the Phase 19 South Pars Reservoir.
