Services - First Momentum

Our Services

At First Momentum, we provide a full range of subsoil investigation and geotechnical services that give engineers, architects, developers, and project owners the clarity they need to design and build with confidence.

Our services combine field investigations, laboratory testing, hydrogeological studies, and geotechnical consultancy into a complete package helping you reduce risk, improve design, and build safely on reliable ground.

Ground & Site Investigation

We uncover the true conditions beneath your site to guide safe and efficient designs.

Borehole drilling (rotary and percussion methods) for soil and rock sampling at different depths
Trial pits and test trenches for shallow investigations and soil profiling
Trial pits and test trenches for shallow investigations and soil profiling
In-situ testing including Standard Penetration Test (SPT), Cone Penetration Test (CPT), and pressuremeter testing
Non-intrusive geophysical surveys: Electrical resistivity, Seismic refraction, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

👉 Ideal for highways, bridges, buildings, industrial facilities, and energy projects

Laboratory & Material Testing

Our accredited laboratory transforms raw samples into clear, design-ready results.

Soil classification (Atterberg limits, sieve and hydrometer analysis)
Strength tests (direct shear, triaxial compression, unconfined compressive strength)
Settlement prediction (oedometer/consolidation tests)
Compaction tests (Proctor & modified Proctor)
Permeability tests for hydraulic conductivity
Chemical & contamination testing for sulfates, chlorides, pH, and aggressive substances

👉 Supporting safe and cost-effective construction materials selection

Groundwater & Hydrogeology

We help you manage groundwater challenges and optimize water-related project needs.

Pumping and slug tests for aquifer capacity and permeability
Groundwater monitoring with piezometers and observation wells
Aquifer studies and hydrogeological risk assessments
Pollution and contamination studies for groundwater safety
Dewatering design for excavation and foundation works

👉 Critical for basements, refineries, dams, ports, and water-supply projects

Geotechnical Consultancy & Design

Turning data into practical engineering solutions.

👉 Ensures stability, prevents failures, and saves long-term costs.

Environmental & Risk Assessment

We integrate geotechnical expertise with environmental responsibility.

👉 Helping projects meet environmental and sustainability goals

Why Our Services Matter

Reduce construction risk with accurate ground data.

Save time and cost through better design decisions.

Meet regulations with international-standard testing and reporting.

Build with confidence knowing your foundation is safe and durable.

At First Momentum, we don’t just test soil—we transform data into design-ready solutions that secure your investment and guarantee safe, lasting structures.
