We are excited – only three more sleeps until the start of the ANZ Geomechanics Conference in Cairns.

I am writing this email with two hats on:

  • Chair of the Ground Level Alliance
  • Business Development for Insitutek Pty Ltd
Launch gathering for AGS partnership with Ground Level Alliance

 

Are you interested in the contribution our profession and you directly can have delivering more sustainable outcomes in the civil construction industry?

The Ground Level Alliance is delighted to announce our support partnership with the Australian Geomechanics Society (AGS).

We are a young organisation empowering and equipping civil construction professionals in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands to make sustainability a daily practice, like safety. We guide the way.

What’s distinctive?

  • Focused on taking action
  • Not re-inventing the wheel
  • Grass roots (by industry practitioners for our industry)
  • Local to the Pacific region
  • Voluntary and not driven by commercial interests
  • Focused on the front end of projects where you can have more impact

Why does the Ground Level Alliance exist?

Many in civil construction find it difficult to connect their work to addressing global environmental and sustainability issues. The Ground Level Alliance aims to bridge this gap by providing direction and guidance.

We purchased a PANDA 2 machine after using one from another laboratory. The information obtained has saved money on numerous jobs. It is reasonably priced and the after-market service has been great. Highly recommend using Insitutek.

I would hate to go back to doing the Plate Load Test using the old method using dial gauges. It would be so time consuming, not to mention manually recording and then processing all the results.

Addressing moisture ingress and heavy traffic loading for cohesive pavement materials – Case Study

May 7th, 2025

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.
