Geotechnical Consulting for Sustainable Industrial Growth Before construction begins, understanding subsurface conditions is vital. Comprehensive geotechnical investigations help identify soil characteristics, bearing capacity, and potential risks such as settlement, liquefaction, or slope instability. These findings guide engineers in choosing the most suitable foundation type, optimizing costs, and preventing structural failure in the long term. Scope […]

The Importance of Landslide and Erosion Prevention in Mining Areas Mining operations often take place in hilly or unstable areas where soil movement and surface runoff can trigger landslides and erosion. Without proper management, these issues can threaten worker safety, damage infrastructure, and disrupt mining productivity. That’s why implementing effective landslide and erosion prevention measures

The Importance of Geotechnical Data in Large Infrastructure Design and Construction In every major infrastructure project — from bridges and tunnels to dams and ports — geotechnical data plays a crucial role. This data forms the foundation for understanding subsurface conditions before any design or construction begins. Without accurate geotechnical insights, engineers risk facing unexpected

Importance of Triaxial Cyclic Test for Liquefaction Analysis in Mining Areas Liquefaction is one of the most critical challenges in geotechnical engineering, especially in mining areas exposed to cyclic or seismic loading. The Triaxial Cyclic Test plays a vital role in evaluating how soil behaves under repetitive stress conditions, helping engineers design safer and more

M 7.6 Earthquake Strikes the Philippines: What If a Tsunami Reaches Indonesia? A powerful magnitude 7.6 earthquake struck Mindanao, the Philippines, on Friday night, October 10, 2025, triggering tsunami warnings across the region, including North Sulawesi and Papua, Indonesia.The quake occurred at 7.34°N, 126.87°E, approximately 287 kilometers northwest of Karatung Island, North Sulawesi, at a

The Impact of the Cirebon Meteor on Nearby Building Structures A loud explosion and a bright fireball startled residents of Cirebon, West Java, as a meteor streaked across the evening sky. The incident, confirmed by the Indonesian National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), has drawn national attention. Experts and engineers are now studying how the

Dynamic Soil Analysis at Mining Sites Using Simple Shear Cyclic Test Understanding soil behavior under cyclic loading is essential in geotechnical engineering, especially for mining operations. The Simple Shear Cyclic Test plays a crucial role in dynamic soil analysis, helping engineers evaluate soil response during vibrations, earthquakes, or repetitive machine loading. What Is the Simple

Importance of Triaxial Cyclic Testing in Geotechnical Engineering The Triaxial Cyclic Test in geotechnical engineering plays a vital role in evaluating soil behavior under cyclic or repeated loading conditions. This test simulates the effects of dynamic forces, such as earthquakes, traffic loads, and vibrations, on soil and rock samples. By understanding how soil reacts to

How Geotechnical Engineering Supports Smart City Development Smart cities are the future of urban planning. They combine advanced technology, data-driven systems, and sustainable infrastructure to improve the quality of life. However, a smart city cannot function without a strong and reliable foundation. This is where geotechnical engineering in smart city development becomes essential. What Is
