Engineering confidence below the surface
Integrated geotechnical, marine, laboratory, survey, environmental and engineering support for island development projects across the Maldives.
Ground intelligence for every kind of island project
Seven services, from the first borehole to the permit
Geotechnical investigation
Onshore and offshore boreholes, Standard Penetration Tests to ASTM D1586 and sampling, turned into foundation recommendations for buildings, resorts, harbours and reclaimed land.
ExploreIn-situ testing
Plate load and pile load tests, dynamic probing, trial pits, infiltration, electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity, measured where the structure will stand.
ExploreSidco Lab
Laboratory and materials testing for soils, concrete, aggregates and asphalt, plus site laboratories set up and run on your project.
ExploreEnvironmental consultancy
Environmental impact assessments and addenda, monitoring and audits, and the permits that go with them: coastal modification (AP-2), dredging and reclamation, and RO plant registration.
ExploreEnvironmental field surveys
Baseline and monitoring surveys: marine benthic, water quality, air and noise, vegetation, traffic, and drone and GIS mapping.
ExploreSurvey and mapping
Topographic and bathymetric survey, utility tracing and aerial mapping for island, coastal and lagoon sites.
ExploreEngineering and design
Foundation and road design, stormwater and drainage, and local design support for international teams working in the Maldives.
