Water Recedes, Timber Log Evacuation in Sumatra Accelerated Flood conditions across Aceh and Sumatra are gradually improving as water levels begin to recede after several days of clear weather. Although the situation is getting better, recovery efforts remain challenging. One of the main priorities is restoring access routes and accelerating the removal of large timber […]
Detecting Liquefaction Potential Using Resistivity Analysis Liquefaction is one of the most critical ground hazards that can damage infrastructure during an earthquake. When saturated soil loses its strength, the ground behaves like a liquid, causing buildings, roads, and foundations to sink or tilt. Because this risk is often hidden beneath the surface, engineers need an
Advantages of a Professional Geotechnical Laboratory in Permeability Testing Permeability testing is one of the most important components of geotechnical analysis. It determines how easily water can flow through soil or rock. This information influences foundation design, slope stability, groundwater control, and drainage systems. Because permeability affects safety and performance, accurate test results are essential.
Why Sieve Analysis Is Important in Soil Classification Sieve analysis is one of the most essential laboratory tests used in soil classification. It determines how soil particles are distributed based on their size. Because soil behavior strongly depends on grain size, sieve analysis provides the foundation for identifying soil types, predicting engineering performance, and supporting
Specific Gravity: Key Parameter in Soil and Geotechnical Engineering Specific Gravity (Gs) is one of the most fundamental laboratory parameters in geotechnical engineering used to determine the ratio of the mass of soil solids to the mass of an equal volume of water. This value plays an essential role in soil identification, classification, compaction analysis,
Common Errors in Soil Moisture Testing and How to Avoid Them Accurate determination of soil moisture content is essential in geotechnical engineering. The results influence soil classification, compaction analysis, foundation design, slope stability evaluation, and settlement estimation. However, errors in soil moisture testing are common and can lead to misleading interpretations and engineering decisions. Below
Evaluating Soft Soil in Mining Areas Using the Consolidation Test Soft soil conditions are commonly found in mining areas, especially in overburden zones and locations with thick clay layers. Understanding the behavior of soft soil is essential to prevent long-term settlement, slope deformation, and infrastructure failure. One of the most reliable laboratory methods used to
How LV Inspection Helps Maintain Compliance with Mining OHS Regulations Light Vehicle (LV) Inspection plays an essential role in maintaining safety and regulatory compliance in mining operations. Because mining areas involve high-risk activities, each vehicle used on-site must meet strict safety requirements. Therefore, a structured LV inspection process is necessary to ensure safe mobility, reduce
