Soils & Stabilised Soils Testing
We undertake soils and stabilised soils testing for the construction and geotechnical industries. Take a look below at the types of tests we offer from our central laboratory and on your site to help with assessing ground strength, density and classification
Ground Strength Testing
Shear Vane Testing

Used to obtain shear strength in clays
DCP Testing

Dynamic Cone Penetrometer Testing to obtain CBR for roads and geotechnical
Triaxial Testing

Shear strength on undisturbed or remoulded samples
Density & Compaction Testing
Laboratory CBR Testing

For determination of CBR values on remoulded material
Insitu Density using Core Cutter

Density tests on site for clays
Insitu Density using Sand Cone

Density tests on site for all soil types
Target Density

Lab Target density to compare in-situ density to
MCV Testing

MCV testing to assess moisture state of soils used in earthworks
Swelling Testing

Measurement of swelling under lab conditions for CBR specimens
Classification Testing
Moisture Content

The cornerstone test for soil assessment
Particle Size by Sieveing

For particle sizes from 125mm to 0.063mm
Saturated Chalk Testing

Required when working with chalk
Hydrometer Analysis

For silt and clay percentage measurements
Plasticity Index Testing

Liquid limit, plastic limit and plasticity index classification
Particle Density

Specific gravity determinations
