Soil Testing

  • Soil Excavations and Soil Profiles.
  • Atterberg Limits - Plasticity - Liquid Limit - Linear Shrinkage.
  • Road and Foundation Indicator Tests.
  • MOD AASHTO and Optimum Moisture Content (OMC) Tests.
  • CBR Bearing Material Classification Tests.
  • Stabilized Material Layerworks - ITS and UCS (C4, C3, Mix Design), Stabilized Content Analysis.

Concrete Testing

  • Concrete Quality Control Testing and Concrete Mix Design.
  • Concrete Cube Crush Strength Tests - Concrete Quality Tests.
  • Concrete Core Drilling Tests and Asphalt Core Drilling Tests.
  • Slump Test and Sampling of Fresh Concrete.
  • Manufacture of Concrete Cubes - on-site and in-house.
  • Cement and Mortar Content Analysis.
  • Bricks, Blocks and Paver Crush Strength Tests.
 
Areas which results indicate a lack of bearing pressure due to non-refusal, would ideally require importing of G7-G5 material and compacting to 95%-98% MOD AASHTO upon which foundations can be founded.

Compaction Testing – Nuclear Density Testing - Sand Replacement Test - Compaction Testing – DCP Testing
 Density control of placed fill material (G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7, G8, G9, G10) should be undertaken at regular intervals during fill construction. Geotechnical Solutions can carry out compaction test inspections of foundations prior to any concrete poured.
