Plate Load Test (PLT) Services

GeoSpectra provides reliable Plate Load Test (PLT) services to determine the Safe Bearing Capacity (SBC) and settlement characteristics of soil for foundation design. The Plate Load Test is an in-situ field test in which a steel plate is placed at foundation level and gradually loaded to measure the soil’s load-settlement response under controlled conditions.

Conducted as per IS 1888 guidelines, this test helps engineers assess soil strength and behavior before construction begins. Our plate load testing services ensure safe, durable, and cost-effective foundation design for residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects across India.

What is Plate Load Test?

Plate Load Test (PLT) is a field geotechnical test used to determine soil bearing capacity and settlement characteristics under vertical loads. Results support safe foundation design as per IS standards.

Why It Matters?

PLT reduces structural risks by providing accurate load-settlement behavior data. This ensures stability, reduces costs, and avoids structural failures during construction and throughout the lifecycle.

Standards & Reporting

Tests adhere to IS 1888 guidelines. Detailed load-settlement curves, SBC values, and technical recommendations are provided for design engineers and project teams.

Applications

Ideal for foundation design verification, highway bases, industrial structures, solar & telecom towers, and bridge approaches across India.
