Soil Testing AND Geotechnical Services Brisbane
GEOTECHNICAL REPORTS FOR BRISBANE & GEOTECHNICAL SERVICING GOLD COAST AND MORE
Independent Soil Testing in Brisbane has been servicing Queensland for over 30 years. We offer expert geotechnical testing for our clients to ensure your soil is at optimal conditions to undergo your process.
Our soil investigation and “soil test” provide efficient solutions for your residential and commercial site from the preliminary design phase through completion.
Why is Soil Testing Important
Soil test and analysis help determine the rate of settlement and bearing capacity of the soil. This is especially important when building or buying a block of land.
There are two main types of soil tests in Brisbane and soil reports that can be carried out when building or buying a block of land.
Firstly, On Site Soil Investigation Test
This is where our geotechnical engineer goes to your site. A common example is on unsewered blocks most local authorities require a site and soil evaluation to determine the permeability of the soil for the purpose of drainage design. A Permeability test and soil reports are to determine the amount of drainage that is required on the soil types encountered.

Why Choose Independent Soil Testing?
Vast Experience
Our Geotechnical laboratory is staffed by qualified engineers and technicians with vast experience in conducting soil investigation and testing for South East Queensland and Southern Moreton Bay Area since 1990.
Our team has gained a wealth of knowledge and experience in delivering quality Geotechnical and Environmental Services that help in the successful design and completion of residential and commercial projects.
Reliable Service
We work diligently to deliver reliable soil investigation and testing to determine the compounds in your soil to ensure it is suitable for the design and purpose of the construction. Making informed decisions about your construction project is made easier by our accurate and reliable service.
Efficient Solutions
We work efficiently in investigating the suitability of the soil on which the construction will take place on. Our laboratory has a quality management system in place to ensure that the tests are carried out timely and correctly to provide comprehensive soil solutions from the preliminary design phase through completion.
Fully Qualified
Our dedicated team ensures that the tests are carried out correctly. With their knowledge of soil mechanics, they investigate subsurface conditions, design earthworks, and use numerical analysis and laboratory testing to use accurate and reliable data for informed decisions that result in the successful design and construction of your project.
Streamlined Process
Our team utilises heavy machinery that streamlines the process of geotechnical engineering (i.e; the discipline of how infrastructure interacts with the ground). With our geotech testing, you can rest assured knowing the soil conditions for your construction process are optimal for construction.
FAQs
Site investigation is the process of collecting information about the subsurface conditions at a particular location. Soil testing is the process of testing soil samples to determine their physical and engineering properties.
There are many different types of soil tests that can be carried out. The type of test that is carried out depends on the particular application. Some of the more common types of soil tests include Atterberg limits testing, compaction testing, permeability testing, and shear strength testing.
Soil testing report is a document that describes the results of soil and rock testing. The report includes a description of the site conditions, the type of testing that was carried out, and the results of the tests.
A geotechnical investigation will help you understand the physical and chemical properties of your soil. This information is important for the design of foundations, earthworks, and many other engineering works.
