Soil Investigation work in Batu-batu Village, Muara Badak District, was carried out to evaluate the condition of soil density and characteristics in the field through a series of tests, such as the Sondir Test (Dutch Cone Penetrometer Test), DCP Test (Dynamic Cone Penetrometer), Sandcone Test, Proctor Standard, and CBR Quarry. This investigation aims to obtain real-time data that will be used as the basis for designing foundations and other geotechnic-related infrastructure. Soil testing directly in the field provides critical information regarding the carrying capacity of the soil, which is crucial to prevent structural failures in construction projects, such as building subsidence or collapse. Literature studies reveal that soil investigation is an important step before starting a construction project, as described in research by Bowles (1996) and Das (2008), which highlights the importance of in-situ testing to obtain more accurate data than laboratory testing. However, previous studies have generally focused on other locations, and specific research on soil characteristics in Batu Batu Village has not been conducted in detail. Therefore, this study is important to provide accurate and specific data for foundation design at the site
