Commercial Site Assessment and Compliance

1. Geotechnical Investigations
   We provide comprehensive geotechnical investigations to assess soil conditions and subsurface stability for commercial projects. This data is critical for designing foundations, earthworks, and drainage systems that meet regulatory and safety standards.
2. Geotechnical and Environmental Drilling
   Our modern fleet of drilling rigs supports both geotechnical and environmental drilling, providing vital subsurface data for foundation design, groundwater monitoring, and contamination testing. Our drilling services help ensure that your project is based on reliable, accurate information, reducing risks and delays.
3. Limited and Full Site Classification
   Our site classification services, conducted in accordance with AS 2870-2011, provide essential data on the soil’s reactivity and bearing capacity. This helps inform foundation design and ensures that the site is suitable for the proposed commercial development.
4. Foundation Recommendations
   We deliver customised foundation design recommendations based on the results of site classifications and geotechnical investigations. Our solutions reduce the risk of settlement or structural issues, ensuring a stable foundation for your commercial building.
5. Earthworks Advice and Testing
   Proper earthworks are essential for any commercial site preparation. We offer expert advice on earthworks, including compaction testing, material selection, and site preparation, ensuring that your site is ready for construction and complies with relevant standards.
6. Slope Stability Assessments
   For commercial projects located on uneven or sloping terrain, our Slope Stability Assessments help mitigate the risk of landslides or erosion. We provide practical recommendations to ensure the stability and safety of your site in compliance with local council requirements.
7. Acid Sulfate Soil Assessments
   In areas prone to acid sulfate soils, we conduct Acid Sulfate Soil Assessments to identify and manage potential environmental risks. Early detection of these issues helps protect both the environment and the integrity of your commercial development.
8. Double Ring Infiltration Testing
   Our Double Ring Infiltration Assessments provide valuable insights into the infiltration rate of soils, informing stormwater management plans and drainage system design. This testing ensures that your project can handle water runoff effectively, reducing the risk of flooding or water damage.
9. On-Site Effluent Disposal Assessments
   For commercial sites not connected to a central sewer system, we offer On-Site Effluent Disposal Assessments to determine the best wastewater management solution. Our assessments ensure that your project complies with environmental and health regulations, safeguarding your investment.
10. Working Platform Assessments
    We provide Working Platform Assessments to ensure safe and stable platforms for heavy construction equipment, in line with BRE 470 standards. This service is critical for reducing the risk of equipment failure or instability on construction sites.
11.  Pavement Investigation and Design
    Our pavement design services ensure that roadways, car parks, and loading areas are designed to withstand heavy traffic and environmental stresses. We provide expert recommendations for pavement thickness, materials, and drainage, tailored to the specific needs of your commercial site.
