Frequently Asked Questions
Ideally, investigations should occur during route selection or early design, before the construction approach is finalised. This allows variable soil, rock, groundwater and trench conditions along the pipeline alignment to be identified before the design is completed and construction begins.
This will depend on the specific project requirements; however, typical tests include soil index properties, such as density, as well as shear strength, permeability and compaction testing relevant to pipeline bedding, backfill and structural design.
Yes. Geotesta’s instrumentation team installs piezometers and provides groundwater monitoring for dams, embankments, dewatering programs and other water infrastructure.
Yes. Geotesta provides Level 1 and Level 2 supervision, compaction testing and reporting during trench excavation, backfilling and reinstatement.
Yes. Environmental assessment and soil classification for disposal can establish suitable handling and disposal pathways for material excavated during water infrastructure works.
