We provide reliable plate bearing testing services to assess ground bearing capacity for temporary and permanent structures. This straightforward, in-situ test helps ensure your ground conditions meet the requirements for safe load distribution in construction.
Plate bearing testing involves applying a known load to a steel plate set on the ground surface. The resulting settlement is measured to assess the strength and stiffness of the underlying soil. This method is particularly useful for:
The test gives immediate results on site and can be used to determine the California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and modulus of subgrade reaction (k-value).
Our experienced engineers carry out plate bearing tests using calibrated equipment and in full accordance with industry standards. The test is non-destructive, quick to perform, and suitable for a wide range of soil types and construction scenarios.
We provide:
Whether you’re preparing a temporary working platform or need data to support permanent foundations, our plate bearing tests provide the reliable information you need.
