In the geotechnical and construction sectors, ensuring the structural integrity of foundations is critical for safety, sustainability, and long-term project success. Businesses face increasing demands in both environmental responsibility and accuracy of data, which is essential to minimising risk and meeting compliance standards. Our foundation instrumentation services enable clients to gather precise, reliable data that informs safer design and more sustainable construction practices, even in the most challenging environments.
For over a decade, SOCOTEC has collaborated with leading universities and utilised cutting-edge technology to apply hundreds of tonnes of force while maintaining control to a tenth of a kiloNewton. Our pioneering work has even contributed to the redesign of building codes.

Benefits
Our foundation testing solutions provide numerous advantages for your project, ensuring operational efficiency and risk mitigation at every stage.
- Sustainability: By delivering precise field data, we help optimise designs that reduce material waste and promote more sustainable building practices.
- Safety: Our systems support enhanced understanding of foundation behaviour, which plays a key role in preventing structural failures and improving site safety.
- Quality Assurance: Through advanced instrumentation, we ensure that all data collected is reliable and of the highest quality, helping to inform critical decisions.
- Operational Efficiency: By offering both standard and custom testing solutions, we enable streamlined operations that reduce project delays and cost overruns.
- Compliance & Risk Mitigation: Our data is instrumental in meeting or exceeding industry regulations, minimising legal risks and ensuring adherence to building codes.
What types of loading scenarios can you test?
We test compression, tension, and lateral orientations, with options for static, rapid, and cyclic loading. Our systems can handle these in multiple axes to accommodate a wide range of project requirements.
