Geotechnical Investigation Report
Geotechnical Engineers in our Auckland and Christchurch branches will visually assess site geohazards. In addition, geotechnical engineers carry out shallow and deep geotechnical investigations to assess ground conditions for TC1, TC2, or TC3 sites or where the risk of liquefaction is high in Christchurch.
Detailed Geotechnical Investigation Report
A detailed geotechnical investigation is required for MBEI TC3 sites, sites prone to potential liquefaction hazards, and commercial projects. The investigation and reporting are needed by local authorities and structural engineers to confirm requirements for complex TC3 sites and commercial sites. Depending on the size and complexity of each project, the geotechnical investigation will typically consist of:
- Shallow ground testing to 3.0m depth including Hand Augers, shear vane tests, and Scala Penetrometer tests.
- Deep ground testing, which will include cone penetrometer tests (CPT) to a minimum of 15m below ground level where ground conditions allow, or Machine Borehole Tests, where CPT tests cannot be undertaken.
The price for a detailed geotechnical investigation and reporting is highly variable due to the size of the project and the number of tests required. There might be unforeseen conditions, that may require further testing excavation, laboratory testing of soils, and external peer review.
Depending on our current workloads and our subcontractor availability, the shallow and deep testing will commence within two to three weeks of confirmation from you and the report issued two to three weeks after. For super urgent jobs, the turnaround time can be reduced to four weeks in total.
