Soil testing provides valuable information about the physical and chemical properties of soil, which is necessary for various construction, environmental, and agricultural projects.. In Victoria, soil testing is conducted in accordance with Australian Standards AS 2870-2011 and AS 1289-2006. These standards specify the procedures for collecting soil samples, conducting laboratory tests, and interpreting the results.
Here are some key reasons why soil testing is important: - Site assessment: Soil testing helps to assess the suitability of a site for construction or development, by determining factors such as soil bearing capacity, stability, and drainage. - Foundation design: Soil testing provides crucial information for designing foundations and determining appropriate footing sizes and types. - Environmental assessment: Soil testing helps to identify potential environmental issues such as soil contamination or erosion, which can impact the safety and sustainability of a project. - Agricultural productivity: Soil testing can help to determine the fertility of soil and identify any deficiencies, which is critical for maintaining high agricultural productivity.
Site investigation report - A detailed report outlining the scope of the investigation, the methodology used, and the findings of the soil testing. Borehole logs - Logs of soil samples taken at various depths, typically showing the soil type, color, consistency, and other relevant information. Laboratory test results - Results of laboratory testing on soil samples, including soil classification, moisture content, compaction, shear strength, and permeability. Groundwater monitoring reports - Reports on groundwater levels, quality, and flow rates, as well as any potential impacts on the soil and nearby structures. Soil chemistry analysis - Results of chemical tests to assess the potential for soil contamination and the suitability of the soil for specific uses. Geotechnical design parameters - Recommendations for foundation design, slope stability, and other relevant engineering considerations based on the results of the soil investigation. Detailed site plans and maps - Detailed plans and maps showing the location of borings, soil types, and other relevant information. Bush Fire Attack Level - A BAL report outlining the probability and direction which would be required for Architects to design. Quality control and assurance reports - Reports documenting the quality of the investigation process, including equipment calibration, sampling procedures, and laboratory testing procedures.
