Geotech Investigations and Efficient Rubbish Collection Services Assist Building Engineers in Developing Safe and Cost-Effective Designs

 Geotechnical investigations have grown in importance in preventing harm to people and property caused by construction activities, earthquakes, disasters, and other natural calamities. On-site exploration, mapping, sampling, and laboratory testing of field samples are all part of the scope of geotechnical investigations. Solo Resource Recovery has skilled specialists and a trained crew to conduct geotechnical investigations using cutting-edge technology and instruments to get the best results from your geotechnical studies.

Geotech investigations by Solo Resource Recovery can cover the below:

Data collection

The company’s geotech investigation will utilise its extensive knowledge of Australia’s soil conditions, and use topography maps, geology maps, and weather data, to evaluate the regional geology conditions, and formation of soils to assess the suitability of a project.

Geotechnical investigations

The investigations will include, but are not limited to:

•          Soil investigation
•          Standard Penetration Test or SPT
•          Collection of disturbed and undisturbed soil samples
•          Groundwater sampling

Field investigation and sampling

The geotech investigations team will perform the below tasks as part of its field investigation:

Drilling works: The drilling work will be carried out using drilling rigs to drill in sizes, and termination requirements or depths instructed.

Soil sampling and soil investigations: The undisturbed samples of the soil will be taken at certain intervals using various sampling methods. Disturbed samples can be derived from selected recovered cores of the standard penetration test or SPT. 

Field Vane Shear Test (VST): The test is conducted by the geotech investigation team to ascertain in-situ undrained shear strength of fine-grained clays and silts, or other geomaterials.

Geotechnical laboratory testing

Laboratory testing will be performed by the geotech investigations team to determine the category of soil by measuring its moisture content, specific gravity, Attenberg limits, particle size distribution, and unit weight. Engineering properties of the soil will be determined using

•          Consolidation test
•          Unconditional compression strength, and
•          Consolidated undrained triaxial compression test

Rock strength property tests will be conducted by Solo’s geotech investigations team using:

•          Point Load Test, and
•          Unaxial Compression Strength Test

Geotechnical investigation report

The report will contain the below details:

•  Executive summary
• Geotechnical field investigation
• Geotechnical laboratory testing
• Evaluation of soil conditions and soil parameters
• Conclusions and recommendations

Chemical analysis of the groundwater are performed to determine its pH value, chloride and sulphate content, and aggressiveness of the groundwater to concrete and steel structures.

In rare cases, construction engineers' attempts to save money on geotechnical studies have resulted in devastating outcomes. With knowledge of the subsurface conditions at an engineering project's site, contractors can devise a safe and cost-effective design to inform the construction engineer about the materials and conditions that they will meet, allowing them to make well-informed judgments. Solo Resource Recovery prioritises the safety of your projects, and geotech investigations are one of the numerous ways the team accomplishes this.

Rubbish removal services

Nothing is more visually unappealing to the eyes than the accumulation of waste. A clean work atmosphere is not only appealing, but it is also vital for your company's credibility. Solo Resource Recovery's professional rubbish collection services ensure that you don't have to waste time dealing with your garbage because the company's qualified operators will handle it for you with professional skill. The organisation is better suited to recycle your trash and waste because it employs recycling procedures. For example, debris from demolition can be utilised as filling for pavements or landscaping work, whilst glass, scrap metal, wood, and plastic from debris can be easily recycled.

Rubbish collection services for all your requirements

Solo Resource Recovery's trash collection services are designed to keep your site clean and tidy during the implementation. Solo Resource Recovery's rubbish collection services will give you with the best options for your rubbish disposal, regardless of how much rubbish or waste you need to get rid of. To give you with the greatest rubbish removal services, the company's operators will consult with you to assess the size of the bin, the type of waste, and the number of collections required. Solo Resource Recovery will ensure that your waste is correctly segregated by combining the garbage collection service with the recycling collection.

Solo Resource Recovery can be contacted for a number of waste collection services required by businesses, including bulk bins, industrial bins, document destruction, commercial waste, and company recycling services, in addition to geotech investigation and rubbish collection services. Solo Resource Recovery provides industrial solutions such as vacuum excavation, vacuum loading, CCTV inspection, waste transport, street sweeping, and cable and pipe location. The company also offers facility management services to municipalities and septic tank services to homeowners. Solo Resource Recovery offers its services throughout Australia, including Carrum Downs, Frankston, Kingscliff, Melbourne, Murwillumbah, Perth, and many more locations.
