Geotechnical Investigation for Subdivision Development

Project Summary

ND Geosciences provided comprehensive geotechnical engineering services for proposed subdivision development in Witchekan Lake First Nation, Saskatchewan. The investigation program included borehole drilling, soil sampling, in-situ testing, and laboratory analysis to characterize subsurface soil conditions and groundwater regime across the site.

Services Provided

  • Borehole drilling and soil sampling
  • In-situ testing and laboratory analysis
  • Groundwater regime characterization
  • Shallow foundation design recommendations
  • Site grading and earthwork guidance
  • Subgrade preparation specifications

Key Highlights

01

Subsurface Characterization
