Geotechnical site investigation
Geotechnical investigation is a very essential step in any trenchless operation because knowledge of subsurface conditions is key to a successful building project. Our reports provide broad range of information apart form site classification. Site investigations field testing are performed in accordance with the best industry practices and industry standards. Our testing procedures comply with Australian Standards AS 1726, AS 2870-2011
SPT & DCP
Dynamic Cone Penetration (DCP) testing is one of the elements of the geotechnical site investigation which is used to measure the strength of in-situ soil and the thickness and location of subsurface soil layers.
The Standard Penetration Test (SPT) is another part of geotechnical investigation, it represents dynamic penetration test designed to provide information on the geotechnical engineering properties of soil. The test procedure is according to AS 1289.6.3.1.
Site features survey
We can detail all information about the property, adjoining properties and features in the street, in fact everything that is required by your local council to modify or develop property and land. Site feature survey information is used by council, architects and builders to see factors such as fall of the land; offset and setbacks of adjoining properties; location of habitable windows; services available; etc
Site Contour Levels Survey is one of the major components of the site feature survey
Contouring in surveying is the determination of elevation of various points on the ground and fixing these points of same horizontal positions in the contour map. Our trained technicians are using most advanced surveying equipment for the accurate and cost-effective Contour Level
Wind Rating survey
GeoHub can carry out a field assessment and provide a Wind Rating Certificate for sites in accordance with AS 4055-2012
A Bushfire Attack Level (BAL)
A Bushfire Attack Level (BAL)is the basis for establishing the requirements for construction (under the Australian Standard AS 3959-2009 Construction of Buildings in Bushfire Prone Areas), to improve protection of building elements from bushfire attack.
