Geotechnical testing services are essential for construction and remediation projects. Geotechnical testing services are used by building construction and waste removal services for both surface and subsurface exploration of a site. The operators can assess how earth materials will interact with the proposed construction and help them identify any potential risks to workers and the environment.

Geotechnical testing services represent a key component of any construction project. Geotechnical testing services can include the below:

  • Evaluation of the soil settlement
  • Ground subsidence
  • Site characterization
  • Moisture intrusion
  • Expansive soil behaviour
  • Waste sampling and analysis
  • Soil collapse potential
  • CCTV pipe investigation
  • Seismic studies
  • Landslide and slope stability, and
  • Assessment of retaining walls, dams, and other structures

Geotechnical testing services by Aussie Hydro-Vac Services, the trusted non-destructive digging services provider in Australia, include the use of Ground Penetration Radar or GPR, which is a non-destructive technique to produce a cross-section profile of the subsurface, without requiring any drilling, trenching, or other ground disturbances. GPS is used by geotechnical testing services to detect buried utilities, such as pipes and cables, in a non-destructive manner. GPR operates by detecting subsurface changes in EM (electromagnetic) properties. The equipment receives the reflected waves over a selectable time range and displays them on the monitor of the surveyor.

Use of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)

GPR surveys are used by geotechnical testing services for a variety of applications involving engineering, geologic, hydrologic, and environmental applications. Other common uses of GPR surveys by geotechnical services include mapping geological features, locating buried utilities, and inspection of underground concrete structures.

The soil laboratory testing capabilities of Aussie Hydro-Vac Services include:

Classification and index properties: Grain size analysis, organic content and Atterberg limits.

Hydraulic properties: Permeability, shear-vane test, ground vibration monitoring, and in-situ moisture and density testing.

Compressibility and expansion potential: One-dimensional consolidation, expansion index, and R-value.

Ground improvement: Shotcreting, piling, grouting and rock nailing.

Density & strength: Compaction, direct shear, measurement of swelling pressure of soil, and moisture & density.

The expertise and extensive experience in laboratory soil testing, sampling, monitoring, and fieldwork allow Aussie Hydro-Vac services to provide comprehensive geotechnical testing services to all clients.

CCTV pipe investigation services

Sewer lines require regular inspection and maintenance in order to function properly, and avoid deterioration, blockages and structural collapses. Aussie Hydro-Vac Services provides the most accurate CCTV pipe investigation services which help operators to identify the problematic areas and provide their recommendations.

For CCTV pipe investigation, a CCTV camera is used by the technicians to obtain accurate information about the location of the pipe utilise advanced equipment and technology to provide computer-generated schematics of the pipe interiors. The equipment used by CCTV pipe investigation can capture visual documentation in full-colour digital format. The crawler is operated remotely by the operator from a fleet vehicle from where he can view the live feed by moving the crawler inside the pipe.

Helping you set budget and prevent future expensive repairs

Using CCTV pipe investigation services before the start of any construction project will help you set budgets and avoid costly future repairs. Aussie Hydro-Vac Services' CCTV pipe investigation services are surgically accurate and cost-effective. Operators can visually inspect pipes and sewer lines for fractures, stormwater lines, blockages, infractions, and other pipeline issues using videos. Making an opening inside the pipe allows CCTV video pipe investigation to take place. When a CCTV pipe investigation service inserts a video camera into a pipe, it provides the operators with a clear visual of the line's condition. The automated crawler is controlled remotely by the operator. Specific hardware is used by the CCTV pipe investigation services to ensure that the dividers of the pipe are appropriately lit to get a clear picture of the interior and exterior of the underground pipelines.
