01 / THE PURPOSE
BEFORE YOU BUILD,
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S BELOW.
Ground conditions shape the decisions that follow — from foundations and retaining structures to earthworks and development feasibility.
Site investigations are undertaken by suitably qualified geotechnical engineers or engineering geologists to explore subsurface conditions and support geotechnical design and analysis.
Geopro can carry out and supervise investigations for residential, industrial, commercial and transportation projects. The investigation method is selected by our geotechnical engineer to suit the site and specific project requirements.
02 / FIELD CAPABILITIES
INVESTIGATION
IN ACTION.
Real field methods. Clear records. Ground information selected for the engineering question at hand.
02 / CPT
Cone Penetration Testing
Continuous penetration measurements for assessing soil behaviour and variability.
03 / TEST PITS
See the ground directly.
Exposed profiles for logging, sampling and observing near-surface conditions.
04 / PERCUSSION DRILLING
Targeted field investigation.
Additional drilling capability where suitable for site conditions and investigation objectives.
03 / HOW WE WORK
FROM FIELD
OBSERVATIONS
TO ENGINEERING
DECISIONS.
The value of an investigation is not just the fieldwork — it is how the information is recorded, interpreted and used.
- 01Scope the investigation
Review available information and define an appropriate field programme.
- 02Investigate and record
Undertake selected methods and document the conditions encountered.
- 03Interpret the findings
Develop an engineering understanding of ground conditions and uncertainty.
- 04Inform the next stage
Use the results to support reporting, analysis and design decisions.
