Over the years, the airport has consistently undertaken expansions and renovations to cater to the growing needs of Guwahati and contribute to the city's expanding infrastructure. These measures have been taken to ensure that the airport can meet the anticipated demands of the future. By investing in these developments, the Guwahati International airport aims to provide enhanced facilities and services to its passengers, keeping pace with the progressive growth of Guwahati.

The main objective of this investigation was to gather detailed and reliable information about the subsoil composition and important soil characteristics. This data is crucial for the designer to conduct accurate analysis and make informed decisions.
This project provides soil samples from various sites within Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport.
- Geotechnical Field Investigation
- Pit excavation and sample collection for laboratory CBR
- Laboratory Analysis
- Detailed Geotechnical Investigation Report with the bearing capacity recommendation of foundation
- Conducting Electrical Resistivity Tests for Soil

The scope of the present studies, as laid down in this investigation work, is as under
- The soil exploration of borehole and pit excavation for collection of undisturbed and disturbed soil samples.
- The soil exploration of borehole and pit excavation for collection of undisturbed and disturbed soil samples.
- Rotary mud circulation drilling was adopted for field sampling and testing.
- Preparing a geotechnical investigation report is to provide a detailed analysis of the substrate profile and relevant soil parameters with accurate information.
- Foundation recommendations based on the laboratory test data and considering shear failure and settlement criteria.
- Conducting Electrical Resistivity Test for Soil
