Soil testing
Boreholes, in-situ tests and laboratory classification on your block, reported by an engineer so the numbers can actually be used in a design.
'Soil test' means different things to different people. For most house builds it means a site classification: boreholes, a logged profile and an AS 2870 class. For some it means bearing capacity for a footing, a check on fill depth before a slab, or a look at the ground under a proposed retaining wall.
Tell us what the test is for and we scope it to that. The fieldwork is done by a field engineer with a rig or hand equipment, samples go to the laboratory where the design needs them, and the results come back in a report an engineer has signed, not a spreadsheet of numbers with no interpretation.

How it works
Send the site address and what you are building. Standard sites get the fixed fee straight away; anything else gets a scoped quote before we book.
We come out with a rig or hand equipment, drill the boreholes, log the soil as it comes out of the ground and take samples for the laboratory where the report needs them.
An engineer at Australian Ground Sciences checks and signs the report. It goes to you as a PDF, ready for your builder, slab designer or certifier.
