Soil/Rock Testing:
GISCA can offer comprehensive soil/rock
testing services to cover the offshore and onshore needs.
Our laboratory is equipped with state of practice technology that
facilitates the performance of high quality testing as required by our
clients. Through our technical
alliance with MTS, GISCA can also provide resonant column, cyclic direct
simple shear and dynamic triaxial testing.
GISCA can provide static soil and rock characterization using our fully
automated equipment such as: high pressure triaxial chamber, high pressure
odometers and a direct simple shear apparatus.
