Al Hai & Al Mukaddam for Geotechnical Works LLC

AHAM, established in 1976, have been involved in various major projects and primarily known for problem solving when it comes to Geotechnical Investigation. Our operators and drilling crews are compliant, properly trained and have received accreditation from Dubai Accreditation Center (DAC) for both rotary and percussion drilling. All our rigs are imported from well-known international manufacturers such as Nordmeyer, Acker, Mobile and Dando which are guaranteed to be in excellent condition. Through continuous servicing in our workshop, apart from the annual visit of our suppliers to inspect and rectify immediately any possible defects identified on the equipment, we ensure that the equipment performs at its best at all times.

AHAM are specialists in the field of Soil Investigation, Geophysical Studies, Material Testing as well as Pile Testing and 3rd Party Quality Supervision. We provide specialized techniques in the field of soil investigation including diagraphy drilling (Real Time Data Acquisition), wire line drilling technology in addition to the conventional drilling methods.

AHAM also provides advanced geotechnical and geophysical mapping tests including, but not limited to, Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT), MASW, GPR, Geophysical Seismic Logging (PS Logging), Pressuremeter Testing, Packer Testing, In-situ Instrumentation in the form of installing inclinometers, strain gauges, tilt meter, crack meters as well as building and ground settlement points.

We can also provide pile testing for cast in-situ piles as well as driven piles in the form of pile instrumentation, pile dynamic testing (PDA), Cross-Hole Analyzer (CHA), Mechanical Calliper Logging as well as supervision of static load test and lateral load tests.

AHAM have the most up to date chemical and physical testing for concrete, concrete trial mixes, aggregate, steel, soil and waterproofing membranes. We also conduct electrical as well as thermal resistivity for soil and thermal resistivity for concrete. Our expertise is also extended to concrete quality assurance in which all in-situ and laboratory tests are carried out by experienced engineers and technicians from our firm starting from slump testing and temperature testing, preparing cubes up to testing the cubes and its durability.

As part of our constant improvement in the field of construction, we also carry out structural assessment of existing structures in the form of destructive and non-destructive testing including, but not limited to, core cutting, ultrasonic testing, carbonation depth, ferroscan (steel cover measurement), Schmidt hammer.
