GHD operates NATA-accredited geotechnical testing laboratories in Sydney, NSW and Traralgon, Victoria, capable of carrying out a wide range of soil, rock and aggregate tests, including classification, dispersion, strength, permeability, reactivity, settlement and advanced strength and deformation tests.
Our laboratories service a variety of industries, consultants and government departments.
Our experienced team will be able to advise you on the appropriate tests for your requirements.
Apart from routine soil tests GHD also offers a range of specialised tests used by engineers in the geotechnical, dams and tailings fields, including:
- Triaxial strength tests Cu, Uu, CD
- One dimensional consolidation
- Direct Shear test
- Hole Erosion Test (HET)
- No Erosion Filter Test (NEF)
- Slurry settlement column
- Electrical resistivity on coarse gravel
We also offer a range of field tests such as:
- Cone penetrometer testing –a small light weight portable rig, using CPTu cones from 10 to 50 Mpa, for very soft ground and difficult access sites.
- Plate Load test
- Wenner array resistivity testing
In conjunction with GHD geotechnical and geophysical teams, we can also offer:
- Geophysical Borehole logging, natural gamma, density and bore diameter (Victoria only)
- Seismic survey
- Resistivity survey
- Downhole imagery including acoustic and optical tele viewing
