Soil Testing Macleay Island
Independent Soil Testing has been servicing Macleay Island and the surrounding for over 30 years. Most local authorities in Queensland require Soil Testing to determine the permeability of the soil for the purpose of drainage design.
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 Macleay Island 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 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.
Second is Structural Soil Testing
This is when soil samples are collected from your site. Material is then returned to our lab for laboratory testing and further analysis. The results of soil tests will provide information about the soil’s characteristics, nature, and reactivity.
The following classifications may be given:
The results of these tests are used for geotechnical reports to determine the suitability of the soils and rocks for various engineering applications.
Our Geotechnical Services Include:
Comprehensive analysis and testing to assess soil properties and determine suitability for construction projects.
Why Choose Independent Soil Testing?
