It is important to keep innovating. It is the case that one size does not fit all. All our geotechnical test equipment is state of the art, including our MASW seismic testing equipment and our heavy-duty 15m depth probe, with bearing capacity print-out at 100mm intervals. Our drill rig can penetrate 20m depth. It is important not to over-specify, also important to correctly determine the geotechnical model of a site to reduce the risk of cost over-runs.
We aim to maintain tight timelines for projects, but caution that adequate design times are important to the optimise designs with the aim of cost reduction.
