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.

Construction Waste Solutions with Project-Specific Approaches are Highly Valuable

  Construction waste is often reasonably clean, heterogeneous building material produced from various construction activities. It includes concrete, insulation and asbestos material, dredging, soil and stones, drywall, bricks, cement, wood, glass, concrete, plastic, ceramic, adhesives, and metallic waste. Construction waste materials are often inert and non-biodegradable and also bulky. It can be very difficult to haul off this kind of waste from a construction site. Moreover, the waste can pose a great danger to the environment if not managed properly. The highest priority should be given to address solid waste issues. Hazardous construction waste such as leftover paint and varnish, products containing mercury, adhesives, drums, and resins should be disposed of as per the regulations in force. Construction waste removal does not necessarily mean dumping it at a landfill. This is considered the last option if other methods of construction waste disposal are not possible. Constructio

Professional and Certified Septic Tank Cleaning and Grease Trap Cleaning Services for Households and Businesses

A septic tank collects liquid waste from toilet flushes, the kitchen, the bathroom, the floor, and other areas of a house. It traps and degrades all solid matter, converting it to sludge in the process. A septic tank allows wastewater and fluids to safely exit to underground dispersion areas known as drain fields or distribution trenches in this manner. Regular septic tank cleaning is necessary because the sludge that accumulates in it must be removed before it fills up to 30% of the septic tank's volume. Septic tank cleaning may be required every six months or every two to five years, depending on the size of the tank and the amount of waste it receives. Failure to perform septic tank cleaning at the appropriate time will result in sludge exiting the septic tank and clogging outlet pipes, which will eventually cost more to unclog or repair. Solo Resource Recovery has well-trained and experienced operators who perform all septic tank cleaning and pump-outs with professional expe

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 the general p
