The department cooperated with design and consulting offices as well as contractors, including in the implementation of the Tresna, Czorsztyn, Wonieść, Klimkówka, Świnna Poręba, Wióry, Mielimąka, Koszyce and Nielisz water reservoirs, the Żelazny Most copper flotation waste reservoir and the construction of the I metro station in Warsaw. As part of the Geoteko-SGGW-Geoprojekt consortium, geological, engineering and hydrogeological documentation was prepared for the 2nd metro line in Warsaw. The Department has developed technical documentation for the investment task entitled “Sports and recreation areas on the Narew boulevards” in Łomża, which was implemented under the EU structural funds. Recently, the studies of the Department were commissioned by, inter alia, Polaqua – Dragados Consortium, Ronson Development Sp. z o. o., SKANSKA SA, Betotest Polska Sp. z o. o., Geotech Sp. o.o.

The Department’s offer in the field of documentation, projects, expertise includes:

– ground research documentation for the purposes of assessing the foundation conditions for engineering structures, spatial development, and design of building structures;

– geotechnical designs of embankments on low-bearing soils (mineral and organic);

– geotechnical projects to strengthen the subsoil for the foundation of the structure;

– assessment of the technical condition of engineering structures;

– geotechnical (and scientific) supervision.

The scope of offered laboratory tests:

– Soil physical properties tests: soil moisture and boundaries of soil consistency, determination of graining by sieve and hydrometric methods, content of organic parts, content of soluble salts and calcium carbonate;

– Soil compaction tests: Proctor method (normal and modified), determination of the minimum and maximum soil skeleton volumetric density of non-cohesive soils;

– Soil permeability tests: tests of hydraulic permeability in vertical and / or horizontal directions (Rowe’s chamber), tests of soil permeability using the constant volume flow method, tests of soil filtration properties under conditions of forced and controlled saturation and stress;

– Soil compressibility tests: oedometric tests carried out by the method of load increments IL (1.6 MPa and 30 MPa of vertical load) and the method of constant deformation rate CRS, tests in the UPC consolidometer with controlled negative water pressure in the pores (soil suction pressure);

– Strength characteristics tests: tests in a triaxial UU, CU, CD apparatus at saturation with the use of equalizing pressure;

– Study of deformation characteristics in a small range of deformations: tests in a triaxial apparatus with the use of local (intracellular) measurement of sample displacements and measurement of the velocity of the transverse and longitudinal waves.

The range of in situ tests offered

– Research on the bearing capacity of the subgrade and road surface by CBR method

– Testing the deformation modules of the subsoil and road surface by loading the VSS plate

– CPTU static probing

– SCPTU “dual-microphone” static seismic soundings

– RCPTU electrofusion soundings

– DMT dilatometric soundings
