Our Services
Specialized Geotechnical Engineering, Geotechnical Drilling, Foundation Execution, and Ground Improvement Solutions in Georgia.
What Services We Offer
Geotechnical Investigations & Field Testing
In-situ geotechnical testing, pressuremeter surveys, Standard Penetration Tests (SPT), and comprehensive subsurface evaluations to define accurate soil parameters for design engineers.
Geotechnical & Exploratory Drilling Works
High-precision geotechnical core drilling, soil/rock sampling, groundwater observation well installation, and deep sub-surface exploratory drilling in demanding terrain.
Bored Piling & Deep Foundations
Large-diameter bored pile installation using heavy rotary drilling rigs (including XCMG XR320E). Full execution capability for polymer slurry drilling, steel casing, and reinforcement placement.
Slope Stability & Retaining Systems
Design and installation of soil stabilization solutions, including soldier pile walls, diaphragm walls, sheet piling, prestressed ground anchors, and shotcrete application.
Ground Improvement Solutions
Ground engineering techniques including jet grouting, pressure grouting, and compaction grouting to improve bearing capacity and prevent liquefaction or differential settlement.
Technical Consulting & Engineering Design
Expert engineering consultancy, soil-structure interaction analysis, foundation design validation, and preparation of field-ready Method Statements for complex projects.
HOW WE WORK
Rigorous Field Methodologies & Safety Standards
Sub-Surface Drilling & Investigation
Precision core drilling and field testing to determine exact soil stratification, rock quality, and groundwater levels.
Geotechnical Engineering & Method Statement
Preparation of site-specific method statements, machine selection, and foundation execution plans.
On-Site Piling & Drilling Execution
Continuous on-site execution with heavy rotary rigs, logged drilling supervision, and strict adherence to structural tolerances.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of drilling rigs and equipment do you use for exploratory drilling?
We utilize high-capacity mechanical and hydraulic drilling rigs capable of extracting high-recovery rock cores and performing standard field testing across diverse soil types and rocky strata.
What parameters determine the choice between dry-drilling and slurry piling?
The choice depends on soil stability, groundwater levels, and cohesive properties. In cohesive soils without water inflow, dry-drilling is highly efficient; in collapsing or saturated strata, polymer slurry is used to hold the borehole open.
Can Merka Geo handle high-torque drilling in hard rock or gravel deposits?
Yes, our heavy-duty rotary rigs (such as the XCMG XR320E) deliver the torque and crowd pressure needed to drill through dense gravel layers and hard rock strata efficiently.
