Geotechnical Investigations

Geotechnical investigations are undertaken to understand ground conditions and identify potential risks early. Geotest Services delivers site-specific investigations to support planning, design and construction, based on targeted fieldwork, testing and interpretation. Clear, practical advice supports informed design decisions and effective risk management during construction.

Our Geotechnical investigation services include:
• Geotechnical investigations
• Groundwater assessments
• Slope stability assessments
• Soil infiltration testing
• Pavement thickness design

Construction Phase Services

Construction-phase geotechnical services provide on-site support during excavation and construction to assess ground conditions as they are encountered. Geotest Services undertakes inspections and verification to confirm design assumptions, identify stability or construction issues early, and support appropriate ground support measures. Clear, timely advice helps maintain compliance and keep construction progressing safely and efficiently.

Our Construction Phase Services Include:
• Shoring Design & Review
• Working Platforms
• Specialist Engineering Assessments
• Slope Stability Analysis

Site Inspections

Site inspections provide independent verification that ground conditions and construction works comply with design and safety requirements. Geotest Services undertakes inspections as works progress to identify issues early and confirm compliance with design assumptions. This supports effective risk management and helps reduce delays or rework during construction.

Our Site Inspections Services Include:
• Trench Stability Inspections
• Bearing Capacity Assessments
• Foundation Inspections
• Pile / Pier Inspections
• Plate Load Testing
• Earthworks Inspections
• Dilapidation Survey and Reporting
• Mobile Crane Assessments

Subdivision & Commercial Developments

Geotechnical services for subdivision and commercial developments support earthworks, pavement construction and foundation performance across all stages of site development. Geotest Services provides testing, inspection and assessment to confirm compliance with design and approval requirements and identify issues early. Clear results support informed decision making, regulatory compliance and efficient project delivery.

Our Subdivision & Commercial Developments Services Include:
• Pavement Testing
• Level 1 & Level 2 Supervision
• Strip Inspections
• Site Classifications
• Post Earthworks Salinity Assessments
• Benkleman Beam Testing
• Hydraulic Conductivity & Permeability Testing
• Vibration assessment and monitoring
