Prior to embarking on any new home construction or extension project, conducting a thorough soil assessment is imperative.
Don’t let the name fool you. While we specialise in North-Western regions, we’re more than happy to travel wherever you need us.
Geotechnical investigations for commercial sites require a broader range of analyses and for us to dive deeper.
A Land Capability Assessment is needed to install a septic or wastewater system on properties without mains sewer.
Before kicking off any new home build or extension, it's important to get a soil assessment or Site Classification Report (AS2870-2011).
At North Western Geotechnical, our reports give you a clear look at the soil conditions on site, help classify the site, and recommend the right footings – all of which are key for engineers, architects, draftsmen, and builders during the design phase.
If you're adding an upper storey or building on the boundary, we’ll also do a footing probe to check out the existing footings' size, material, and load-bearing capacity. We ensure all of our reports meet Australian Standard 2870-2011 for residential slabs and footings.
At North Western Geotechnical, we specialise in thorough geotechnical site investigations for commercial projects all over Victoria. Whether you're in the heart of Melbourne or out in the more rural areas, our experienced team is committed to giving every project the attention it deserves.
Using the latest techniques and equipment, we assess soil conditions, site stability, and environmental factors to provide custom solutions for each project. You can count on us for expert advice and support to help move your commercial developments forward, no matter where you’re located in Victoria.
Soil testing for all projects big or small, we have you covered. Pools as well!
Does your development or project have a basement, cellar or carstacker? We can provide the required testing and deeper drilling.
We can measure you structures existing footing and assess the founding material, often completed as part of upper storey additions, when you have a wall on one of your boundaries, or at your engineers request
For when your project falls outside the scope of AS2870 – 2011.
A Land Capability Assessment (LCA) is conducted to determine the suitable type and size of wastewater disposal system necessary for safe and legally compliant disposal.
This investigation culminates in a Geotechnical Report, which is a valuable resource for both the pool builder and engineer.
