Geotechnical Investigation

Field investigations are performed by our specialist field staff and the site-specific results are analyzed by our qualified and experienced geotechnical specialists.

We obtain in-situ information on the physical properties of soil and rock and collect samples for laboratory testing to provide geotechnical design recommendations for remediations, earthworks and various types of structures.
​
All our sites have a site-specific health and safety plan, field brief and scope and our team of professionals carry out a range of testing methods to gather data including:
  • Hand auger drilling
  • Scala penetrometer testing
  • Window sampler drilling
  • Cross sections and GPS surveying
  • Logging of machine drilled rotary core boreholes
  • Logging of machine drilled percussion boreholes
  • Logging of machine excavated test pits
  • Geomorphologic mapping
  • Laboratory testing
  • Clegg hammer testing
  • Nuclear densometer testing
  • Soil contamination sampling
  • Groundwater monitoring
  • Cone penetrometer test (CPT)
  • Shear vane testing
