LAM Geotechnics is an approved Works Bureau Group 2 contractor and is eligible to take on ground investigation contracts of any size. We are also an approved contractor for Hong Kong Housing Authority, Buildings Department, and MTRC. 

We own and operate a fleet of drill rigs of varying sizes and capabilities and are one of three GI contractors in Hong Kong that maintain and operate our own fleet of marine barges. In recent years, we made a sizable investment in our equipment by acquiring the latest CPT trucks and marine subsea CPT machines from Europe to keep up with the latest technological advancements in ground investigation.

We own and operate a warehouse and workshop to maintain our drill rigs and machinery to ensure the highest operating efficiency. Our team of dedicated staff frequently upgrade our rigs to ensure minimal disruption during operation.  

For specialized tests, we choose to only work with trusted partners to ensure the high quality and integrity of the work. For example, we conducted the majority, if not all, of all hydro-fracturing tests in Hong Kong and we choose to partner with MeSy in Germany to conduct these tests for their prudent methods and accurate results.
