Geotechnical services includesite investigation planning, sub-surface exploration and in-situtests (onshore & offshore),Geotechnical Instrumentation,Soil Mechanics and FoundationEngineering Analysis, FiniteElement Analysis, Seepage andGround Water Studies, Pilecapacity calculations. We alsooffer a wide range ofgeotechnical field works and labtesting works for differentproject needs. We carry outdrilling and sampling forEnvironmental studies too.

GIICo has abundant resources,both manpower and equipment,to the demands of each projectneeds, time constraints anddifferent site conditions.

GIICo has complete laboratoryfacility to conduct all types ofgeotechnical laboratory tests todetermine physical, electro-chemical and strengthproperties of soil.

Geotechnical consulting isalways recommended to beprovided locally by anexperienced and professionalconsulting firm. Our technicalstaff of engineers andtechnicians is headed byqualified professionals of GII.

It is worth mentioning about ourcivil engineering consultingservices. Our major specialty liesin geotechnical and foundationengineering; however we havethe capability and experts toprovide related services in Civil,Environmental and Mechanicalengineering. We are providedwith all latest technologies toproduce the best quality ofdesign and reports using our 486computers, digitizers, scanners &laser printers. We have a goodnumber of sophisticated andlatest geotechnical softwares tosolve issues such as stabilityanalysis, dewatering, sitesupports wave equation for piles,fortification, soil reinforcementsystem etc…

As we hire and retaintop-quality employeesspecialized in their areaof work, we can provideexperts in all areasrelated to geotechnicalworks.

We have designed andadministered hundredsof projects ingeotechnical / civilengineering works undermost surface andsubsurface conditions.
