Geotechnical Testing – Accurate Ground Assessments for Successful Projects
With years of experience and a commitment to international standards, GEOCIVIL understands that a high-quality geotechnical site investigation is crucial to ensuring accurate and cost-effective ground assessments. Whether you’re planning a small residential project or a large infrastructure development, reliable geotechnical testing is essential to the success of your design and construction process.
At GEOCIVIL, we provide IANZ-accredited data that helps reduce the risk of failure at the design phase, ensuring that your project is based on solid, dependable information. Quality testing results can also lead to significant savings in both time and resources by helping you avoid costly design and construction errors.
Why Choose GEOCIVIL for Geotechnical Testing?
- Accurate Results: Our advanced testing methods deliver precise, actionable data that you can rely on to make informed decisions about your project’s foundation and overall design.
- Reduced Risk: By providing detailed data during the initial stages of design, we help minimise the risk of ground instability and other costly complications.
- Cost-Effective Solutions: Quality geotechnical testing allows you to optimise your designs, potentially reducing the time and resources needed for construction.
Our Geotechnical Testing Services Include:
LWD (Light Weight Deflectometer)
The Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) is a portable, efficient tool for measuring soil compaction in real-time. It’s ideal for road construction, embankments, and other projects where compaction quality is critical. This test provides fast and reliable data directly on-site, helping you ensure that your construction materials meet the required standards for stability and performance.
- Provides on-site compaction data.
- Suitable for road construction and embankment projects.
- Quick and reliable results for quality control.
PLT (Static Plate Load Tester)
The Static Plate Load Test (PLT) is used to determine the bearing capacity of soils and subgrades. This test is essential for assessing whether the ground can support the loads expected during construction. It provides vital information about settlement behaviour under load, helping you design foundations that are safe and reliable.
- Assesses soil bearing capacity.
- Provides data on ground settlement behaviour.
- Ideal for foundation and subgrade evaluations.
