The Christchurch team recently completed Static Plate Load Testing for a high profile project in the area.
NewsThe integrated technology of the static plate load tester enables you to manage and control your compaction works, saving both time and cost and to improve the quality of your construction.
Window Sampling
NewsFor difficult-to-access sites, Window Sampling offers a portable site investigation solution, enabling access to areas a traditional drill rig cannot reach. At our Wellington and Christchurch Offices we have two Window Sampling Kits, allowing us to test deeper than hand augers can into the Wellington Greywacke and through gravelly material which is present in the […]
What is a cone penetration test (CPT)
NewsA cone penetration test is used to determine geotechnical properties of soils. The cone penetration test has become internationally one of the most widely used and accepted test methods for determining geotechnical soil properties. The cone penetration test can be completed from the ground surface. A cone penetration test rig pushes a steel cone into […]
Static Plate Load Test use in NZ
NewsFor more than 70 years the static plate load test has been well known in international geotechnical practice. This test assesses two important stiffness parameters of the soil: the static soil modulus Es and the subgrade reaction modulus K. Additionally, by unloading and reloading the soil, it can assess the level of compaction achieved, similarly […]
Kaikoura Project
NewsAs part of the Kaikoura earthquake response, North Canterbury Transport Infrastructure Recovery (NCTIR) has engaged the services of Geocivil to help gather data on one of their trial to determine if they could use slip material as roading aggregate. As part of this trial, Geocivil has tested the slip material for particle size distribution and […]
