Roads and Transport Infrastructure

1. Geotechnical Investigations
   We conduct thorough geotechnical investigations for both existing and new roadways, gathering crucial data on subsurface conditions. This information guides pavement design, ensuring that roads are constructed on a stable foundation that meets safety and performance standards.
2. Geotechnical and Environmental Drilling
   Our drilling services are integral to road infrastructure projects, providing vital information about subsurface conditions. We conduct geotechnical drilling to collect soil and rock samples, helping to determine the stability and composition of the ground. Additionally, our environmental drilling supports groundwater monitoring, contamination testing, and the identification of potential environmental risks, ensuring compliance with regulations and contributing to sustainable road development.
3. Pavement Investigation and Design
   Our pavement services include detailed assessments, thickness design, and construction verification testing. We design new pavements and rehabilitate existing ones in accordance with Austroads, TfNSW, and local council requirements, ensuring optimal durability and long-term usability.
4. Subgrade and Slope Stability Assessments
   We provide subgrade assessments using techniques such as the Plate Load Test to determine the load-bearing capacity of the soil. For roads built on slopes or hilly terrain, we also perform slope stability assessments to ensure the roadway remains safe and stable over time.
5. Environmental Services
   We offer a range of environmental assessments, including waste classification assessments and contamination testing, to ensure that road projects comply with environmental regulations and contribute to sustainable development. This includes managing site remediation as needed.
6. Civil Engineering Support
   Our civil engineering team works closely with contractors to provide comprehensive support during the construction phase. This includes Level One Earthworks Control, ensuring that all earthworks meet the required standards for compaction, drainage, and structural integrity.
7. Pavement Remediation and Rehabilitation
   We provide recommendations for the remediation and rehabilitation of damaged or deteriorating pavements. Our Benkelman Beam testing and remaining life analysis help determine the need for repairs, allowing us to extend the service life of roadways and optimise maintenance schedules.

At Hunter Geotechnical Services, we are committed to delivering practical, high-quality solutions that ensure the success of your road construction and maintenance projects. Our comprehensive approach ensures that every aspect of the project—from geotechnical investigations to environmental assessments and civil engineering support—is expertly handled, providing peace of mind and long-term value.
