- Geotechnical Engineering
- Geotechnical Investigations
Zalig conducts comprehensive geotechnical investigations for diverse projects, encompassing residential, commercial, and public sectors. Our scope covers transportation, infrastructure, and water management systems. The process involves drilling boreholes, logging, onsite soil sampling, visual soil classification, laboratory examinations, and geotechnical evaluations to formulate tailored recommendations that meet the unique demands of each project.
