What this
covers.
Geotechnical testing supports earthworks control, site investigation and project acceptance. The exact test set is confirmed against the project specification and applicable standard.
Material Identification
Supports project teams in confirming submitted soil sample details before selecting the applicable test scope.
Specification Review
The required method is confirmed based on soil type, project stage, sample condition and submission requirement.
Report Support
Results are prepared for project records, consultant review, earthworks control or QA/QC documentation.
Scope confirmed
by specification.
From sample
to report.
For geotechnical testing, provide the sample source, project specification and intended use. ARCHITEST will confirm the suitable preparation, method and reporting sequence.
Send EnquiryProject specification, material type and intended use determine the correct test set.
Samples are logged, prepared and assigned to calibrated equipment under controlled workflow.
Results are reviewed, signed and issued for project records, submissions or acceptance checks.
