Resource & Energy Operators
Design and prove ground performance in challenging operating conditions
Convert unknown ground conditions into operational decision making
Remote or difficult-to-access sites make it harder to assess geological variability accurately, while heavy loads, vibration and groundwater affect constructability, safety and performance. Generic assumptions can lead to overly conservative designs or leave projects exposed to risk during construction and operation.
Geotesta can undertake field investigation and in-situ testing, offers monitoring capabilities, and owns its own NATA-accredited laboratory. This allows us to provide our clients with comprehensive support in the planning and execution of their new assets, upgrades to existing assets, mining infrastructure, renewable energy projects and operating sites.
One ground partner across the project
Feasibility and Design
Investigation, drilling and specialist testing define ground conditions for roads, pads, towers, substations, pipelines and plant.
Construction Support
Earthworks supervision, compaction testing and pile testing verify ground preparation and foundation installation during delivery.
Operational monitoring
Instrumentation tracks movement, settlement, vibration, groundwater and other responses where asset performance requires ongoing evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The scope, site access, inductions, equipment and mobilisation requirements are planned around the operating environment. This can include restricted access windows and extended-hours work where required.
Geotesta’s services can support solar and wind farms, transmission and lighting towers, substations, buried cables, pipelines, data centres and other energy infrastructure.
Yes. Specialised in-situ testing can include thermal and electrical resistivity testing where buried cables, earthing systems or other energy infrastructure require project-specific field data.
Yes. Monitoring can continue during operation where settlement, movement, groundwater, vibration or other performance risks require ongoing measurement.
Yes. Geotesta can complete rock coring and selected laboratory testing, including moisture content, point load and uniaxial compressive strength testing where required.
Yes. Geotesta can plan personnel and equipment around shutdowns, shift work and time-critical access, subject to the agreed scope and mobilisation requirements.
