Newest plant addition:
NUCLEAR DENSITY METER (NDM)
Is specifically designed to measure the moisture and density of soils, aggregates, cement, lime treated materials, and to measure the density of asphalt concrete. It offers a method of obtaining fast, accurate and in‐place measurement of densities and moisture.

The device uses small radioactive sources which sends radiation through the material being tested, obtaining data which can be correlated to density, moisture, and air void percentages.

New equipment: Impact Tester,

most commonly known as Clegg Hammer or Clegg Impact Hammer, is a portable device used to determine a surface’s shock absorption and bearing capacity.
It is used to measure and control the strength of soils, aggregates, and synthetic materials for surfaces and roads. It is used to relate the surface’s ability to withstand the structural load put upon the surface. It also allows users to determine on-site, the strength, stiffness, and stability of the testing surface, and whether it meets relevant standards.

Watch this space for another piece of kit we have just had arrive as well!
As alway happy to answer any queries, or get in touch if you need any soil bearing testing completed. PM or contact Dean on 0276992277

Do you require confirmation of ground bearing, either at the time a consent is submitted or before the first foundation inspection is accepted/passed??

We are now setup to provide this service, either confirming that the existing ground meets or exceeds the 300KPa NZS:3604 requirements or weather additional engineering or design is required. The solution I’m providing falls under the codes NZS 4402 - Test 6.5.2:1998 & NZS 3604:2011 Section 3. On completion of the field testing, I will supply a report noting the findings which you can attach with consent documentation or to pass onto any engineer for them to complete their design.

Feel free to get in touch on here or, call 027 699 2277 or email: [email protected]
