Compaction is one of the most important processes in pavement construction and, done well, leads to long-lasting pavement performance and reduced maintenance costs.
Our clients use Intelligent Compaction to create uniform efficient quantified compaction. Our Intelligent Compaction system provides:
We are delighted to officially announce our Ground Improvement portfolio.
For the last three years, we have been working on extending our offer from, just, in situ testing to testing and improving in situ conditions.
With our ground improvement portfolio, our focus is delivering more sustainable outcomes. Here is what we offer:
On 2 August 2024, geomechanics professionals gathered in Canberra for the Australian Geomechanics Society ACT Insitu Testing Practical Workshop. The event focused on practical demonstrations of key insitu testing methods, including Cone Penetration Testing (CPT), Static Plate Load Test (PLT), Dynamic Probing Super Heavy (DPSH), Light Weight […]
Have you ever wished your Plate Load Test equipment would operate itself? Then our static plate load test with automatically operating battery hydraulic pump is definitely something for you. 🙂 Typically, a hydraulic hand pump is used to apply 15 to 20 load increments over two loading cycles by the operator. One test lasts 20-30 […]
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 […]

The Australian Geomechanic Society Field Testing / Insitu Testing Short Course at Patterson River Golf Club was a resounding success, bringing together a diverse group of geomechanics professionals for an immersive day of learning and networking. Participants had the unique opportunity to engage in hands-on demonstrations of critical insitu testing methods, including the Static Plate […]
We find clients are often looking for ways to improve geotechnical testing outcomes and do it more efficiently at the same time. This drives their buying decision making. Australian Soil and Concrete Testing (ASCT) was a case in point when they were searching for Plate Load Test equipment for their upcoming Collector Wind Farm project. Some of the things that motivated them include: […]
We are excited to introduce the addition of a new Liquefaction Risk Estimation module in WebSprint©. Paired with our cutting-edge products, PANDA® and GRIZZLY®, this module enables you to assess the liquefaction risk of soils exposed to seismic stress. PANDA® Instrumented DCP: This cutting-edge tool provides dynamic penetrometer soundings, delivering precise data crucial for seismic risk evaluations. GRIZZLY® […]
