Geotechnical Investigation Services for Soil Bearing Capacity Assessment

This tender, under Bid Number GEM/2026/B/8064911, is issued by the Department of Military Affairs, Ministry of Defence, on behalf of the Indian Army. The opportunity, commencing on 06-10-2026 at 3:23 PM and closing on 16-10-2026 at 4:00 PM, solicits proposals for comprehensive geotechnical investigation services. The scope of work includes the provision of drilling boreholes of 150 mm diameter to a depth of up to 10 meters or refusal, defined by an SPT 'N' value of 100 or more for 30 cm penetration. Crucially, the services require the collection of both disturbed and undisturbed soil samples at 1-meter intervals, or at strata changes, adhering to relevant IS Codes and specified document requirements. Bidders are also tasked with conducting field and laboratory investigations to ascertain soil profiles, proportions, and determine safe bearing capacity. This necessitates laboratory testing of both disturbed and undisturbed soil samples as per the specifications outlined in IS 2720 and consideration of groundwater table data. The total quantity of work is specified as 36 units, with specific office location details provided in the enclosed documents.
