Who we are

MOBEKON Geo-Engineering Limited was established in Accra in May 2008 to provide independent field investigations and laboratory testing services to support development of civil engineering infrastructure and general building works. Over the past seven years Mobekon’s primary goal has been to develop a strong technical capacity for conduct of geotechnical, hydro-geological and geophysical ground investigation studies in Ghana.

Mobekon has consistently endeavoured to apply standard geotechnical and geophysical processes and technologies to investigate the engineering geological and hydro-geological environment conditions at selected sites to generate relevant technical information for design and construction of various types of engineering infrastructure.

The outputs of Mobekon’s services have been applied to roads, airfields and bridge constructions, multi-storey commercial and residential building developments, construction of schools, clinics, warehouses and other public-use facilities. Mobekon provides services for both field level investigations and laboratory testing of foundation soils and construction materials.

Facilities are available for performing the basic engineering classification tests for foundation soils, and earthen construction materials. The specific tests include determination of the ff; Grading characteristics, Atterberg limits, Moisture content, MDD & OMC, Concrete strength, compaction control, etc. Standard laboratory equipment are available for performing key classification tests.

Mobekon has the following equipment available for conduct of field investigations.

• Big Beaver Power Auger complete with     safety hammer for SPT
• Nordmeyer RA 50 Dynamic Penetrometer     for performing heavy dynamic probing
• Assorted hand tools for DCP tests, vane     shear tests, Schmidt hammer test, etc.
