In-situ and Laboratory Testing

Field and laboratory determination of soil and rock properties, including permeability and groutability.

In-situ testing measures ground behaviour where it sits, before sampling disturbs it. Permeability and packer tests give the water take that drives grouting design; hydro-fracture testing establishes the pressure at which the rock mass opens.

Laboratory work runs in parallel — classification, density, shear strength and rock strength indices — so the design team gets a complete parameter set rather than field data alone.

What this covers

  • Standard penetration test (SPT)
  • Dynamic cone penetration test
  • Vane shear test
  • Pressuremeter test (to 80 bar)
  • Dilatometer test (to 300 bar)
  • Permeability and packer (Lugeon) testing
  • Hydro-fracture / HTPF testing
  • Flat jack test for in-situ stress measurement
  • Plate jacking test inside drift, with borehole extensometer
  • In-situ direct shear test
  • Pull-out test on grouted rock anchors
  • Monitoring of rock movements
  • Groutability testing
  • Soil classification, Atterberg limits, density and Proctor compaction
  • Direct shear, triaxial UU/CU/CD and consolidation testing
  • California bearing ratio (CBR) and swell pressure
  • Rock UCS, point load and slake durability
