Geotechnical Survey and Design in UAE
Request Site Assessment
POLYJET provides geotechnical surveys, site investigations and geotechnical engineering services for infrastructure, industrial and civil engineering projects across the United Arab Emirates.
Comprehensive Geotechnical Investigation and Design
Geotechnical survey and design form the foundation of any safe and cost-effective construction project. At POLYJET, we provide detailed soil investigation, field testing, and engineering analysis to accurately assess ground conditions before construction or remediation works.
Our approach allows us to identify potential risks such as weak soils, settlement, or high groundwater levels and develop technically sound solutions tailored to project requirements.

Geotechnical Survey FAQ
A geotechnical survey is a detailed investigation of subsurface conditions carried out before construction starts. These surveys collect essential data about soil and rock, groundwater conditions, and the engineering properties of the ground to support safe and efficient project design.
Geotechnical surveys provide critical data that helps engineers make informed decisions during planning and design. Understanding the properties of the soil, load bearing capacity, and potential geotechnical risks helps ensure the structural integrity, safety, and longevity of the project.
Our site investigations may include drilling boreholes, collecting soil and rock samples, in-situ testing, and geophysical methods such as electrical resistivity and ground penetrating radar.
These methods help assess subsurface conditions, identify potential ground-related issues, and support accurate engineering analysis before construction begins.

Geotechnical engineers evaluate the physical properties and, where required, the chemical properties of soil and rock.
This may include analysis of:
This may include analysis of:
- load bearing capacity
- density
- moisture conditions
- compressibility and permeability
- soil behaviour at various depths
- slope stability
Data obtained from geotechnical surveys is essential for designing foundations and underground structures. Understanding subsurface conditions helps engineers determine the appropriate foundation type, optimise structural design, and mitigate risks associated with settlement or weak ground.
