Soil Testing & Assessment Services

We assess the site in accordance with the appropriate Australian Standards and this typically involves:

Review of site characteristics such as fall, existing and surrounding structures, drainage etc;
Drilling of a minimum of 2 test holes to a target depth of 3.0m;
Assessment of ground bearing capacity;
Collection of samples where appropriate;
In-house laboratory testing; and
Site Classification in accordance with Australian Standard AS2870 – Residential Slabs and Footings.

Site Investigation

When it comes to site investigation and classification there is no substitute for clear, concise recommendations. This ensures that any footing and slab system designed for your site will be cost effective and appropriate for the site conditions.

All we need to complete the soil test is a copy of the site plan showing any existing buildings, location of any proposed new construction, approximate location of site services (where possible) and an indication of ease of site access.

Why Does My Property Need A Soil Test?

Soil testing is a crucial step in the design process for any new build, renovation, or land purchase in Brisbane. It provides essential information about the soil on your property, offering a detailed report that evaluates its potential for movement, expansion, contraction, and weight-bearing capacity.

This classification helps determine the most suitable building materials and ensures a strong foundation for your construction project. Conducting a thorough soil test can also prevent unexpected costs by identifying potential challenges early.

Understanding your soil’s properties from the start allows you to address any issues proactively and adjust your building plans to suit the site’s unique conditions.
