Investigation

Understand subsurface uncertainty at the beginning of a project for best results.

  • Foundations for bridges or railways

  • Lot classifications

  • Basement excavation

  • Site remediation

  • Slope risk

  • Pavements

Geotechnical ground models

Our expert team design and implement tailored ground investigations for both simple and complex projects, with particular expertise in large infrastructure projects.

We investigate soil and rock qualities, depth and surface features. Recommendations may cover aspects of foundation design, drainage, support structures and anti-corrosion protection.

Methods

  • Desktop review

  • Non-destructive digging

  • Electronic scanning and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

  • Borehole drilling

  • Thermal resistivity tests

  • Earth resistivity soundings

  • Test pits

  • Seismic refraction surveys

  • Multi-channel analysis of surface waves

  • Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP)

  • Laboratory testing

  • Reinstatement of surfaces

Expert delivery

We provide essential and practical geotechnical intelligence for project decision-making across a variety of industries. Our extensive engineering and contaminated land consultancy has served several thousand projects across Australia and the Pacific Island region.
