About Geocivil – Over 40 Years of Geotechnical Testing Excellence in New Zealand

With over 40 years of experience, GEOCIVIL is a trusted name in geotechnical and materials testing services across New Zealand. Our journey began with a Northland engineering company’s need for reliable, high-quality geotechnical data, sparking our commitment to providing precise and accredited testing services. Today, we proudly offer comprehensive services that support engineers, contractors, and consultants with accurate and reliable data for their projects. Our IANZ-accredited laboratories are located in Canterbury, Central Otago, Wellington, and Northland.

Our Services and Expertise

At Geocivil, we provide a comprehensive range of testing services to support the success of civil engineering and construction projects throughout New Zealand. Our fully equipped, IANZ-accredited laboratories offer both field and laboratory testing to ensure that every project meets stringent safety and performance standards. Below are the key services we provide:

    • Geotechnical Testing: Offering a full suite of soil testing services for classification, construction monitoring, and geotechnical assessments across New Zealand.
    • Geophysical Testing: Our geophysical tests evaluate subsurface conditions without the need for invasive drilling, providing a detailed understanding of site conditions. These tests are essential for identifying potential hazards or geological features that could affect project planning.
    • Pavement  and Aggregates Testing: Comprehensive testing of pavement and aggregates to assess their strength, durability, and suitability for road and infrastructure projects.
    • Cone Penetration Testing (CPT): CPT on-destructive testing that maps subsurface conditions such as utilities, voids, and other hidden features without disturbing the ground.
    • Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR): GPR is on-destructive testing method used to map subsurface conditions, including utilities, voids, and other hidden features. GPR is invaluable for construction and geotechnical investigations, offering real-time data without disturbing the ground.
    • Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD): Real-time, portable testing to evaluate compaction and bearing capacity of soil, ideal for road and pavement construction.
    • Static Plate Load Testing: Used to measure the bearing capacity and settlement of soil under load, ensuring the ground can support structural loads.
    • Other Laboratory Services: We offer customised testing solutions tailored to meet your unique requirements, including uncommon test methods.
