In Shepparton, site investigation must address the Goulburn Valley’s layered alluvial clays, silts, and sands, where variable groundwater and reactive soils directly influence foundation performance. Our investigation category covers targeted subsurface profiling guided by AS 1726, starting with an exploratory test pit to visually map shallow strata and moisture conditions. For deeper, continuous data in soft sediments, we deploy CPT (Cone Penetration Test), capturing tip resistance, sleeve friction, and pore pressure without cuttings.
Residential slabs, commercial warehouses, and rural infrastructure in the GMID rely on this phased approach to manage differential settlement and bearing capacity risks. Where granular layers dominate and disturbance sampling is needed, we supplement with SPT (Standard Penetration Test) to recover split-spoon samples and calibrate strength parameters. Every investigation delivers a clear ground model for confident, code-compliant design.
