Soil and Ground Testing
We offer comprehensive geotechnical services, which are critical for ensuring the stability and safety of construction projects. These services include soil investigation, testing, and foundation design, all of which are essential for understanding the ground conditions and determining the appropriate construction techniques. By conducting thorough soil investigations and using advanced testing methods like the Scala Penetrometer Test, we can accurately assess soil strength and suitability. This information is crucial for designing foundations that can safely support the intended structures, mitigating risks associated with ground instability and ensuring long-term durability.
Wastewater Treatment Systems
In addition to soil investigations, we provide on-site wastewater treatment system design. This service is vital for properties in areas where conventional sewer systems are not available. GM Designs assesses the site conditions and local regulations to develop effective wastewater treatment solutions that protect the environment and comply with health standards. By designing systems that effectively manage and treat wastewater on-site, we help clients maintain sanitary conditions and reduce their environmental footprint. This service is particularly beneficial for rural and remote areas, where infrastructure may be limited.
"GM Design resolved our complex drainage issue with a comprehensive and effective plan. Their professionalism and responsiveness exceeded our expectations."
