Detailed centreline and materials investigations are conducted to assist with the design of roads, pipelines, parking areas, and infrastructural units which require extensive layer works such as sports fields and embankments.
These investigations focus on thetesting of specific attributes related to materials and their re-usability in construction.
Typical Investigative Procedures:
Materials investigations and borrow pit exploration programs are undertaken to classify and quantify materials as well as identify and model geological and geomorphological features which may impact the development as a whole.
Methods typically include;
Desktop Studies and geological field mapping
Trial pitting– and associated disturbed soil testing
Treated material testing through stabilisation with cement/lime
In-situ testing methods; DPSH, DPL and DCP
