Our Services

Soil Testing Services

Comprehensive geotechnical soil testing from the same NATA accredited laboratory trusted for our concrete testing services.

Compaction Testing

Standard and modified compaction testing to determine the optimal moisture content and maximum dry density of soil. Essential for earthworks and fill placement quality assurance.

  • Standard Proctor
  • Modified Proctor
  • Moisture-density curves
  • Fill specification compliance

CBR Testing

California Bearing Ratio testing to evaluate the strength of subgrade and base course materials. Critical for pavement design and road construction projects.

  • Subgrade assessment
  • Base course testing
  • Pavement design input
  • 4-day soaked CBR

Atterberg Limits

Liquid limit, plastic limit, and plasticity index testing to classify soil properties and predict behaviour. Important for foundation design and earthworks planning.

  • Liquid limit
  • Plastic limit
  • Plasticity index
  • Soil classification

Field Density Testing

On-site density testing to verify compaction of fill and earthworks meets engineering specifications. Sand replacement and nuclear density gauge methods available.

  • Sand replacement
  • Nuclear density gauge
  • On-site results
  • Compaction verification

Particle Size Distribution

Sieve analysis and hydrometer testing to determine the grain size distribution of soils and aggregates. Used for soil classification and material specification compliance.

  • Sieve analysis
  • Hydrometer testing
  • Soil classification
  • Material compliance
