Site Classification
A.C. Geotechnical Pty Ltd provides site classification assessments for residential and commercial projects, including new builds and extensions. Residential assessments are undertaken in accordance with AS 2870–2011.
Each assessment begins with a site inspection and soil investigation. We drill boreholes using our drilling equipment or a hand auger where access is restricted. Soil samples are then analysed in a laboratory, where required, to assess soil reactivity and estimate the expected seasonal ground movement.
Using the test results and site observations, we prepare a comprehensive report outlining the site classification, supporting data and recommendations. Where required, we can also provide soil parameters and advice for retaining walls, swimming pools and site cuts.
All soil investigations are undertaken by qualified geotechnical engineers, giving you professional advice and clear, practical reports to support your project.
We offer prompt turnaround times, competitive pricing and services throughout Victoria.
In addition to site classification, we offer:
-
Earthquake site categorisation
-
Wind load assessments
-
Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) assessments
