National Geotechnical Experimentation Site (NGES)

The National Geotechnical Experimentation Site (NGES) is a dedicated facility used to study and better understand the behavior of soil and rock under various conditions. Researchers conduct controlled tests to observe how ground materials respond to forces like weight, vibrations, and environmental changes. This knowledge helps improve the design and safety of structures such as buildings, bridges, and dams. By simulating real-world scenarios, NGES supports the development of more resilient infrastructure and ensures that construction practices are based on solid scientific understanding.
