Introduction
Soil quality refers to the ability of soil to perform its functions. Soil is especially important in regulating runoff of storm water and in supporting trees, shrubs, lawns and gardens. Urban activities, such as construction grading, often result in erosion, sedimentation and soil compaction. Soil quality refers to the ability of soil to perform its functions. Urban activities, such as construction grading, often result in erosion, sedimentation and soil compaction.
List of Material covered are as follow:-
- Subgrade soil / Embankment soil

Our Solutions & Necessity
ITC Labs offer the Qualitative testing as per the standard requirements for the different geotechnical works. Soil is going to sustain the load of your structure (Imposed load on building as well as the weight of the building itself). Due to this reason only it is very important to know and analyze various properties of soil where we are constructing our structure. A little displacement of soil below our structure can totally destroy it. That’s why we need to know properties like strength, Bearing Capacity of soil, Permeability of soil etc. before building our structure.
