Geotechnical and Pavement Investigation Services that Adhere to Safety Standards while Keeping your
Before beginning excavation work for construction, land reclamation, beach nourishment, and other purposes, it is critical to understand the ground conditions. Geotechnical investigation is typically performed for this purpose by specialised geotechnical investigation and pavement investigation technicians. Geotechnical investigations performed by Aussie Hydro-Vac Services, a reputable non-destructive digging services provider, include the following:
Data collection: The geotechnical investigation team will collect topography maps and geology maps to evaluate the regional geology conditions.
Geotechnical investigation: The company's geotechnical investigation team will conduct soil investigations, standard penetration tests (SPT), disturbed and undisturbed soil samples, groundwater sampling, and other services. In addition, depending on the program's requirements, the team may conduct additional tests, such as a cone penetration test (CPT), a rock strength properties test, and a soil profile to evaluate soil conditions and soil parameters.
Field investigation and sampling: This includes determining the type of soil by analysing its moisture content, specific gravity, particle size distribution, etc.
Laboratory testing: This includes engineering properties test, rock strength properties, and chemical analysis of water.
Geotechnical investigation report: This includes a description of the works performed with respect to geotechnical investigations, index properties, and summary of laboratory testing results.
Aussie Hydro-Vac Services will recommend a custom excavation program based on the results of these tests and reports.
Pavement investigation and geotechnical investigations services by Aussie Hydro-Vac Services include:
- Test pitting
- Cone penetration testing
- Tube sampling
- In-site soil sampling and material classification
- Augering
- Pavement and asphalt reinstatement
Pavement investigation is carried out to determine the soil properties and characteristics that will be used in pavement design. These properties include volumetric stability of a pavement structure and determination of influence site characteristics that may require pavement structure modifications.
Technical recommendations for your project
Following the completion of the geotechnical investigation, the geotechnical engineer at Aussie Hydro-Vac Services will evaluate the data and perform engineering analysis for the design of pavement foundation layers. The geotechnical engineer may also present the subsurface information from the site investigations to the project engineers and make specific technical recommendations. Aussie Hydro-Vac Services has experienced technicians with strong laboratory backgrounds who can tailor geotechnical investigations to provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about construction methodologies. The detailed pavement investigation report prepared by Aussie Hydro-Vac Services technicians will aid in determining the best pavement design.
Pavement investigations for upgrades, rehabilitation or reconstruction
Pavement investigations are frequently required for residential and industrial subdivisions, collector and distributor roads, car parking facilities, commercial and industrial premises, pavement upgradation and rehabilitation, and other projects. Aussie Hydro-Vac Services conducts thorough pavement investigations for pavement upgrades and rehabilitation in order to ensure the safety of commercial, industrial, and residential projects. Aussie Hydro-Vac Services can determine whether your site requires pavement upgrade or rehabilitation based on the pavement investigation report.
Aussie Hydro-Vac Services offers a range of pavement design options including
- Deep strength asphalt pavements
- Flexible unsealed pavements
- Rigid reinforced concrete pavements
- Pavements incorporating foam bitumen stabilisation, or cementitious additives
Aussie Hydro-Vac Services can design pavement for existing roads that need structural upgrades, rehabilitation, or reconstruction. Aussie Hydro-Vac Services has conducted numerous pavement investigations in Australia for businesses, councils, and residents, ranging from Dough White Drive and the Pacific Motorway Upgrade to the Gold Coast Light Rail and the Inner City Bypass.
Non-destructive excavation and digging services
Aside from pavement investigation and geotechnical investigation, Aussie Hydro-Vac Services offers a variety of non-destructive digging services for industries such as liquid and solid waste disposal, gross pollutant traps, industrial cleaning and shutdowns, industrial marine services, and more. The company's technical services include cable and pipe location, CCTV inspection, drone photography services, subsurface engineering and maintenance, and many more.
Aussie Hydro-Vac Services specialises in non-destructive excavation solutions that prevent damage to underground utilities such as gas and pipelines, as well as cables. The company has advanced subsurface engineering capabilities and performs excavation work in such a way that not only are your underground utilities undamaged and functional, but your workplace is also returned to you clean.
Returning clean jobsite with no damage to underground utilities
Aussie Hydro-Vac Services' non-destructive excavation causes minimal disruption to your routine. A high-pressure water or air jet is used to loosen the soil during hydrovac excavation. Prior to this, a geotechnical investigation is performed to determine the utilities, and digging is done in such a way that your underground utilities are not damaged. The loosened and broken soil is suction-collected in a rubbish truck and transported away from the jobsite. This way, there will be no unsightly piles of trash on the jobsite. The collected garbage is either transported to an engineered landfill located away from urban areas, or it is treated for recycling or reuse.
The company's geotechnical investigation, pavement investigation, and non-destructive excavation services are available throughout Queensland and New South Wales. Please contact the company's customer service if you require non-destructive excavation and waste management solutions outside of these areas.
