Site Investigation
Evaluation of soil, rock and groundwater conditions by a variety of methods including: standard penetration test (SPT), excavation of test pits and pile and plate load testing. Sample recovery by: geotechnical drilling including split spoon sampling, sonic continuous core sampling and piston sampling for high quality samples in soft soils.
Typical Projects:
- Investigation of soil and rock conditions for the proposed Sisson Brook Tungsten-Molybdenum open pit mine in central New Brunswick.
- Investigation of organic terrain for a bridge crossing the Little Presque Isle Stream near Hartland New Brunswick for NBDOT.
- Evaluation of subsurface conditions for an on-site water treatment facility at a hotel near Fredericton, NB.
- Geotechnical investigation of numerous roads, railway lines and associated bridges in Atlantic Canada.
- Soils investigations for numerous wharves in Atlantic Canada for PWGSC.
- Soils investigations for many commercial buildings in Atlantic Canada including those for warehouses, restaurants, garage facilities, water treatment plants, shopping developments, car dealerships and apartment buildings.
- Soils investigations for many institutional buildings in Atlantic Canada including those for schools, churches, and for the Canada Games Aquatic centre in Saint John, NB.
- Soil investigations, pile load testing and other geotechnical input for many industrial buildings in Atlantic Canada including a sugar refinery, rail terminals and mill expansions.
