Site investigations
Tonkin & Taylor undertakes geotechnical investigations for a wide range of projects, from house sites through to major building and infrastructure developments. We own four drilling rigs and have a NATA registered laboratory at our head office in Melbourne. This enables all aspects of investigations to be conducted using in-house resources.
Expertise
Site investigations are led by experienced
geotechnical engineers who have the expertise to
provide geotechnical design requirements for a
wide range of design and construction issues. Our
engineers also team with structural designers to
develop innovative and cost-effective solutions.
Groundwater assessment is a key aspect of the
site investigation work we undertake. This includes
evaluation of groundwater levels, flow rates and
flow direction and the impact of groundwater on
project construction. Monitoring and analysis is
often continued through the construction phase
and beyond.
We regularly undertake investigations to assess
the stability of cuttings and embankments for roads,
waterways, dams and bridges, as well as for multistorey
buildings, underground car parks, cellars,
open pit quarries and access roads.
Site investigations are carried out to assess
the ability to excavate or rip rock materials for
projects involving major roads, dams, industrial
developments, sewerage schemes and cable
trenches.
An in-house geotechnical library is maintained
that includes a range of state of the art
computer software as well as specialist in-house
programmes for analysis of slope stability,
embankment and structure settlement, pile
analysis and foundation design.
Experience
Site investigation experience includes projects
such as flood retention basins and irrigation
dams, wind towers, regional sewerage schemes,
quarries and bridges.
