Building engineers conduct geotechnical investigations before beginning any construction or demolition work on a site. Soil samples are collected and images are taken using advanced equipment such as GPR (Ground Penetration Radar) to locate buried utilities so that they are not damaged during the digging process. The soil samples collected by the geotechnical investigations team are tested in a laboratory to determine their various properties. Knowing these characteristics will help building engineers in determining the best method of excavation, the suitability of foundation work for structures, and the material most appropriate for use in a project.

Solo Resource Recovery is Australia's leading provider of waste management solutions. Geotechnical engineers and geologists from Solo Waste Management Company collaborate with structural engineers to provide geotechnical investigations that serve as a starting point for early project planning, ensuring that underground utilities remain intact and undamaged. The geotechnical investigations team of the company collects relatively undisturbed samples of fine-grained or clay soils for testing. Solo waste management company's geotech investigation team can use Cone Penetrometer (CPT), Dilatometer, or other testing techniques, depending on the soil type, to calculate the correlation of soil shear strength, consolidation characteristics, and soil classification information of the sample soil. CPT testing is typically completed with a porous tip on the equipment that records the soil's pore pressure. The geotech investigation team can use seismic CPT or SCPT, as well as seismic DMT or SDMT, to determine shear wave velocity.

Obtaining critical information about soil characteristics

Geotechnical investigations provide building vendors with critical information about the structure of the soil in order to determine its suitability for a construction project. The data obtained by the geotechinvestigations team will assist it in obtaining the following information:

  •     Natural soil and rock lithological structure
  •     Groundwater level depth
  •     Site topography
  •     The physical and mechanical properties of soils and rocks
  •     The thickness to fill, and more

In addition, the geotech investigations team will install special measurement systems, such as inclinometers and extension meters, to monitor building foundation movement and the formation of cracks in the walls.

Subsurface utility engineering (SUE) services

Subsurface utility engineering (SUE) services by Solo waste management company are used to identify the conflicts that the subsurface utilities may pose to a project design. It involves four quality levels (QLs).

QL-D: The quality level involves gathering of record data including physical site inspections and digital records.

QL-C: Above-ground utility features, such as manholes, and utility marker posts are surveyed.

QL-B: This quality level is used by the geotech investigation team to determine the existence and horizontal position of underground utilities.

QL-A: This is the highest surface utility engineering level used by Solo Resource Recovery’s geotech investigation team to determine the precise horizontal and vertical positions of underground utilities.

Use of advanced imaging equipment

Following the completion of subsurface utility engineering by the geotech investigations team, a computer-aided design (CAD) file is created to depict the best-known position of the utilities and to determine whether utility relocation is required for the project to be successful. Solo Resource Recovery's geotech investigation team uses advanced equipment for its subsurface utility engineering services, including Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Global Positioning System (GPS), Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), and other imaging equipment.

Innovative techniques for waste recycling and reuse

Solo Resource Recovery is a waste management company that uses advanced methods for recycling and reusing waste and debris from various non-destructive excavation and digging projects, such as glass, plastics, metals, paper, and other materials that can be used to make new products. Waste recycling aids in the conservation of natural resources, as well as the reduction of energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from landfills. Many construction materials, such as concrete, asphalt, reinforced steel, and masonry, are reused in novel ways by the company.

In many cases, the material recycled by Solo waste management company is heavily processed and used as input material. Examples include repurposing old aluminium cans to create new aluminium products and repurposing scrap paper and cardboard to create new products. If waste needs to be disposed of in a landfill, Solo Resource Recovery has designed landfills with bottom and side liner systems, leachate collection and removal systems, gas collection, and ground monitoring systems to prevent contamination of the soil and atmosphere.

Stop Air and Soil Pollution by Choosing Vacuum Excavation, and Effectively Manage Your Construction Waste

Image
  Have you ever thought about digging a hole for a project? However, digging it by hand would be hard and time-consuming. Using vacuum excavation to dig the same hole, on the other hand, makes combining high-pressure water and an air vacuum easier for you and your project. These excavators are used to remove unwanted material from surrounding subsurface infrastructure, such as mud, sludge, and slurry. The soil is vacuumed into a waste tank and placed there for later disposal or backfilling into the hole through a vacuum hose. Why is vacuum excavation important? Vacuum excavation produces significantly less dust than conventional methods, regardless of the material being excavated. Massive amounts of dust are thrown into the air when soil is moved around on open-top vehicles like dumpers, excavators, and lorries or conveyor belts.  Vacuum excavation  pulls all of the spoil and dust from the pit directly into the vacuum excavator, which is better for the environment and...
