Soil Investigation and SPT Testing in Tierra del Fuego
With offices in Ushuaia and Río Grande, we mobilise to project sites throughout Tierra del Fuego.
Continuous subsurface investigation to depths of up to 13 metres with our own equipment.
At Costa Sur, we carry out soil investigations combining fieldwork, laboratory testing and geotechnical reporting, with the scope tailored to each project and site.

An investigation programme tailored to each site
The proposed construction, ground conditions and design objectives determine the investigation programme. Our proposal sets out the investigation locations, test methods and documentation to be delivered.
Boreholes and penetration testing to the agreed investigation programme.
DPL, SPT or DPSH testing, with the method clearly specified in the proposal.
Soil classification and characterisation tests selected for the investigation.
Geotechnical report and test records within the agreed scope.
Our own SPT/DPSH equipment
Our automatic Kuarso SPT/DPSH equipment allows continuous subsurface investigation to depths of up to 13 metres. We assess site access and working conditions before planning mobilisation and the investigation programme.
Fieldwork, laboratory testing and reporting
A complete investigation brings together field data, laboratory results and engineering interpretation. Where a commission covers only a field investigation or an individual test, the proposal identifies that scope clearly.
Testing can include particle-size analysis, Atterberg limits, moisture content and soil classification, with the tests selected to suit the purpose of the investigation.
Information needed for a quotation
Site location and access conditions.
Type of construction and project stage.
Site layout plan or available documentation.
Previous site information and the designer’s requirements, if available.
Ground information for design and construction
Subsurface investigations provide information for foundation design and other engineering work. We also offer GNSS RTK surveys and setting out, earthworks calculations and project documentation, with a defined scope for each service.

Let’s discuss your investigation programme
We mobilise to sites across Tierra del Fuego. Tell us the site location and what you plan to build so we can propose an investigation that addresses your information needs.
