Why Soil Testing Is Important

All testing is completed in accordance with AS 1289, AS 1726, AS 2870, and relevant NSW guidelines.
Why Soil Testing Is Important
Soil testing provides essential information for:
- Footing and slab design
- AS 2870 site classification
- Identifying fill, natural soils, and moisture conditions
- Supporting DA and CDC approvals
- Assessing soil strength and reactivity
- Determining earthworks and compaction requirements
- Identifying potential contamination
Accurate soil testing reduces construction risks and ensures safe, compliant design.
What Our Soil Testing Includes
- Atterberg limits (plasticity index)
- Moisture content
- Particle size distribution
- Shrink–swell behaviour
- Soil strength and consistency
- Reactivity assessment for AS 2870 classification
Environmental Soil Testing
- Salinity
- Acid sulfate soils
- Soil aggressivity
- ENM/VENM assessment
- Waste classification (GSW, HSW)
- Contaminant screening (metals, hydrocarbons, asbestos)
Field Testing
- Borehole drilling
- Soil sampling
- Groundwater observations
- In situ density testing (as required)
All samples are analysed by NATA‑aligned laboratories.
We review your project requirements and confirm the testing needed.
Boreholes drilled to appropriate depths for sampling and profiling.
Soil samples tested for engineering and environmental properties.
Interpretation of soil behaviour, reactivity, and foundation conditions.
Clear, concise soil testing report delivered within 3–5 business days.
Guidance for builders, engineers, and certifiers.
