SOILTECH, being the foremost Geotechnical Engineering expertise firm in Sri Lanka has excelled its core business in the entirety of soil and environment related engineering. We are specialized in testing and investigation services as well as consultancy services for onshore and offshore investigation, construction and development.

Geotechnical investigations are often conducted in difficult circumstances. Drilling in cities requires fast and compact technology with minimal disturbance for the inhabitants. Sonic drilling is the latest technology in the geotechnical investigation field which produce the correct data in short time. Cores are long, show accurate geological information and show virtually no disturbance. So they are the perfect base for accurate geotechnical profiling and reliable laboratory analysis. We provide Sonic drilling in combination with SPT auto drop hammers for geotechnical tests and sampling for laboratory analysis.

Off Shore Explorations

SOILTECH has mastered offshore drilling business in Sri Lanka and is empowered with deep water mobile offshore drilling machines. We are concerned about the maximum core recovery during offshore drilling by minimizing mechanical breakages. Hence we deploy our own Jack-Up Barges with Japanese technology for off shore drilling investigations which can easily jack up to 40 m depths.
