AGS Workshop and Upcoming Conferences

AGS Insitu Testing workshop 1

We want to share details of a practical AGS Insitu Testing workshop on 2 August, share something for those working on slope stability and for those in land development and tip you off on getting early bird prices for a couple of up-coming conferences in Australia.

If you are interested in modern insitu testing methods and you haven’t yet attended one of these AGS practical workshops, it’s a great opportunity to get hands on with a range of equipment and learn from very experienced practitioners.

Slope Stability – AGS Symposium in Townsville

Is slope stability your thing? This event on 7 August 2024 is bringing together some of the best minds on the topic to share experiences and innovations in Townsville.

Are you working with Land Developers? 

If you work in land development, you should be here – Association of Land Development Engineers (ALDE) – Connecting the Pieces: Crafting the Future of Land Development Conference in Lorne, VIC on 19-21 August 2024.

Early Bird Tips

If you are planning to come to the Transportation Geotechnics conference in Sydney on 20 – 22 Nov 2024, early bird registrations close on 31 July 2024.

ICTG 2024

….. and last but not least, if you are attending the ANCOLD dams conference, which will also cover Tailings Storage Facilities (TSF’s), get the early bird price for a few more days.

Hope there was something useful in there for you.

Insitutek imports, sells and services, unique geotech equipment that has proved of great benefit to those who use it. It has a particularly beneficial role to play for those compacting soil in infrastructure projects.

I must confess that this equipment is fantastic compared to the old technology.

Geotechnical Lead Engineer, Qualtest Laboratory

After scouring the market, we settled on the PANDA DCP test equipment as it offered the technical capability and, moreover, the flexibility required to work in the restricted environment our project presented; overhead clearance typically at 1500mm but as low as 1200mm.  We had a unique problem that required a unique solution and that’s precisely what we found through the team at Insitutek and the PANDA equipment.  The ease of assembly, intuitive operability and compact nature of the equipment, made light of the numerous soundings we required across a widely dispersed area.

Belle Panganiban

It’s always rewarding when we can bring both our “test” and “improve” capabilities to the same project.

This was the case with a recent case study for the application of TERRA-3000®, our clay soil stabilisation product in the City of Ballarat, VIC, which we tested using the Light Weight Deflectometer.

Bridge Approaches – Managing the High Risk Transition Zone between Flexible and Rigid Structures

March 27th, 2025

Belle Panganiban

A bridge approach transition zone is the area where a road or railway track transitions from the rigid structure of a bridge to the flexible embankment or road pavement, aiming to minimize abrupt changes in stiffness and potential issues like differential settlement.
