GIICO engineers design and install geotechnical and structural instrumentation to test and monitor structures during construction, and initial loading to verify that actual foundation and structural performance is in accordance with the anticipated response. Instrumentation for monitoring earth pressures, pore pressures, settlement, pile driving, vibrations, soil shear strength, soil and structural deformation and stress are utilised.

GIICO runs fully equipped laboratory for soil, concrete and construction materials testing. We also provide QA/QC service for major construction projects.
