We have already met Edzem Engineering on the pages of our magazine. For 5 years since that meeting and in general for 18 years of activity, what has changed in its activity, in what directions it is working now and what are its plans for future development?
The guest of this issue of the magazine, the head of Edzem Engineering Ltd., Mr. Edishun MUHIKANCI, will tell us about all this.
– Tell us about the activities of Edzem Engineering Ltd. What types of engineering-geological surveys does the company specialize in?
– Edzem Engineering Ltd. was founded in 2007. All 18 years the company has been carrying out its activity in the main direction – on engineering-geological surveys and engineering-drilling works. At the preparatory stage, geological conditions are investigated: relief, features and characteristics of soils and groundwater are studied, changes in the geological environment are analyzed, evaluated and predicted. Based on the collected data on the physical characteristics of the object and its technical equipment in case of positive results for all indicators, the company proceeds directly to the implementation of field work – this is the second stage, which includes a set of practical geological surveys with geological/hydrological drilling. At the third stage laboratory studies are carried out – samples of soil materials obtained by drilling with different locations and depths are studied, on the basis of which further decisions are made and the subsequent necessary work is carried out.
– You use several drilling methods. How is the optimal method selected for each specific project? What factors influence this choice?
– The task of engineering drilling is to obtain accurate data on the ecology and natural resources of the area, the condition of soils and groundwater, to study the safety, efficiency of options for water wells, agricultural work and construction.
Specialists of our company engineering drilling of wells is carried out by several methods. Thus, the core method is used for drilling a small diameter well with the use of low-frequency carbide-alloy drills with washing the well with water and installation of casing pipes, which allows drilling deep, but with minimal destruction of the ground. Drilling with auger («dry» drilling) is used for a well of larger (large) diameter, which may destroy the soil structure.
Naturally, the drilling method is selected taking into account the purpose and depth of the borehole, soil characteristics, specified survey conditions and technical condition of working sites. The drilled well is then tamped, and the selected core is delivered to the company’s laboratories for further study, preparation of an expert report on the object, topographic plan and geological cross-section of the site. On the basis of the drilling and documentation of the territory, the project documentation for drilling of water wells and construction of residential and industrial facilities is subsequently prepared.
– How does Edzem Engineering ensure the quality of its services, given the complexity and diversity of geotechnical surveys? What quality control standards and procedures are applied?
– Of course, great importance in our work is attached to the high quality of our services, their compliance with customer requirements and global quality standards. And this is ensured primarily due to experience, a team of professionals, modern material and technical base, innovative and investment investments and compliance with all necessary rules and technologies for safe performance of works. And we have all this. The main criterion of the company’s activity is to ensure the quality of works within the terms set by the customers and the main tool for achieving this goal is engineering quality control of all works performed.
For many years of activity the company has gained a huge experience in all aspects of working processes from A to Z, has recruited a strong, autonomous and mobile team of competent certified specialists, characterized by high professionalism and responsibility, able to perform tasks of any complexity, on any aspects of projects, which is already the basis of quality work. It is worth emphasizing the special role of innovative and technical-technological component in the performance of any type of services. The quality of work performance directly depends also on the use of the latest machinery and equipment, and our company has a full set of necessary equipment: we have our own drilling rigs of different sizes, modern equipment and a fleet of vehicles from the best world manufacturers. We have also won numerous tenders at state and socially important facilities. Much attention is paid to the aspects of control at all stages of works and services and in general the whole work in general. Edzem Engineering IP LLC complies with all rules and technologies of safe geological surveys. Thanks to the help and support of investors and partners the company implements innovative solutions and approaches for successful realization of projects. All these aspects together are the most important factor of quality performance of our works and services.
– What technologies does your company prefer to use when implementing engineering solutions?
– Our company prefers modern and reliable technologies, such as bored piles. This method allows us to significantly increase the bearing capacity of the ground and prevent undesirable movements of the foundation, especially in difficult conditions – on soft, water-saturated or waterlogged soils. We always choose the best technical solution depending on the specifics of the project. This is supported by professional engineering consulting: our specialists carefully analyze each situation and offer an individual approach to achieve the best results.
– Tell us about the most significant projects implemented by your company in Uzbekistan and beyond. What difficulties were overcome during the implementation of these projects?
– The range of works performed by Edzem Engineering is very wide – construction of dams, tunnels, highways, bridges, railroads, viaducts, docks, ports, airports, power plants, fuel storage facilities, shopping and office centers, residential complexes and skyscrapers, sports facilities and cultural objects. The company has already carried out a large number of various geotechnical and hydraulic engineering projects, research and development for major industrial, civil, architectural and other projects in Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan. Organized industrial zone with swimming pool in Sakarya province (Turkey), railway lines, drinking water and sewage systems, drip irrigation and irrigation systems, road construction, including subway, as well as power plants, large factories, agro-industrial facilities and many others.
The work begins first of all with the arrival of the company’s specialists at the site, where they: conduct the necessary inspection, measurements and selection of drilling method; drill hydrogeological wells; perform ground and water sampling; perform the necessary laboratory research of materials; draw up a technical report, geodetic plan with geological cross-section. Then, in agreement with the customer develops a work plan and turnkey implementation project. Of course, during the works the company faces various problems, but with the state support and assistance of partners they are overcome, we do not dwell on difficulties and confidently go into the future.
– What are the company’s plans for development and expansion in the coming years? Do you plan to expand the geography of your activity or specialization?
– The geography of our activity is wide – it includes European and Arab states, Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan) and we do not stop there. We plan to further expand our geography, activities and specializations: We aim for new achievements in our work and we are constantly working on it. Over the years we have experienced a lot, learned a lot, done a lot – and we have succeeded, coped and moved on. I think that our new ideas and plans will also come true.
– Thank you for the interview. We wish your company new achievements and success in its activities!
