At Rock Form, we understand that every successful construction project starts with a clear understanding of the ground it stands on. Our Ground Investigation Reports are tailored to provide essential data on subsurface conditions, helping engineers and developers design safe, efficient, and cost-effective foundations. In a country like Malta, where geological conditions can vary significantly over short distances, accurate ground investigations are not just a formality—they are a necessity.
Our investigations typically involve borehole drilling, soil and rock sampling, and laboratory testing to determine physical and mechanical properties such as bearing capacity, moisture content, and compressibility. Malta’s terrain—often characterised by layers of Upper and Lower Coralline Limestone, Globigerina Limestone, and Blue Clay—requires careful interpretation of ground profiles to avoid structural complications such as differential settlement, excavation instability, or foundation failure.
The data we collect is compiled into a clear, professionally formatted report that outlines the site’s stratigraphy, geotechnical characteristics, and practical recommendations for excavation, foundation design, retaining walls, and ground bearing elements. Whether you're working on a project in a coastal zone, urban infill site, or on elevated terrain, our team ensures that each report reflects site-specific challenges and opportunities.
Ground investigation is more than just data collection—it's about mitigating risks, improving design efficiency, and supporting long-term structural stability. With Rock Form, you get the local expertise and technical accuracy needed to build with confidence on Malta’s diverse geological landscape.
