Geophysical & Geotechnical Site Screening — Delhi NCR · Pan-India

Look into the earth
before you build on it.

Raysense screens ground conditions before design freeze — seismic hazard, liquefaction potential, subsurface stratigraphy and soil response — so developers, EPC contractors and public agencies commit capital to sites that can actually carry the load.

Why screen first

Insurance pays after the damage. Screening prevents it.

Both are risk management. Only one of them stops the loss from happening.

Reactive

Insurance

  • Pays out after a structural or seismic event has already caused damage
  • Premiums rise once claim history or hazard exposure is known
  • Does not change what's built or where — only who absorbs the cost
  • Deductibles, exclusions and claim disputes sit between you and recovery
Proactive

Site screening

  • Identifies liquefaction risk, weak strata and seismic hazard before foundation design
  • Feeds directly into IS 1893-compliant PSHA/DSHA and structural sizing
  • Lets you re-site, re-design or budget for ground improvement early — when it's cheap
  • Produces a defensible technical record for lenders, insurers and regulators

Prevention has no deductible.

What we do

Six methods, one picture of the ground

Each service answers a different question about what's beneath a site. Combined, they build a single, code-referenced risk picture.

REGIONAL · KM SCALE

PSHA / DSHA

Probabilistic and deterministic seismic hazard analysis — hazard curves, uniform hazard spectra and design PGA per IS 1893.

0–30 M DEPTH

MASW

Multichannel analysis of surface waves for shear-wave velocity profiling and Vs30 site classification.

0–100 M DEPTH

ERT

2D electrical resistivity tomography to map lithology, groundwater and weathering profiles beneath a site.

NEAR-SURFACE

GPR

Ground-penetrating radar for shallow subsurface imaging — utilities, voids, fill boundaries and buried features.

SITE SPECIFIC

Liquefaction assessment

SPT-based liquefaction potential index (LPI) mapping and susceptibility classification for seismic zones.

REGIONAL GIS

Hazard zonation

AHP-weighted GIS overlay combining seismicity, faults, soil and topography into a composite suitability map.

Who it's for

Built for the people who carry the risk

Real estate developers

De-risk site acquisition and design freeze with ground truth before capital commitment.

EPC contractors

Firm up foundation design inputs and reduce variation-order exposure mid-construction.

Renewable energy firms

Assess ground conditions for solar, wind and grid infrastructure sites, often in undercharacterized terrain.

Government & public agencies

Support code-compliant, defensible technical bases for infrastructure and lifeline structures.

How screening works

From regional hazard to a site decision

A staged screening approach narrows from broad regional seismicity down to a clear suitability call — before detailed PSHA/DSHA and geotechnical investigation begin.

Regional seismicity

Evaluate regional activity using earthquake catalogues and zonation maps.

Fault proximity

Check distance to active faults and seismogenic sources.

Ground motion

Estimate expected PGA using empirical relationships.

Site conditions

Assess near-surface geology, soil class and groundwater.

Risk screening

Combine factors via AHP-GIS into a suitability index.

Decision

Classify as suitable, conditionally suitable, or not suitable.
