Insitu Test, Global Synthetics and Foundation Specialist Group (FSG) are all industry partners in the National Asset Centre of Excellence (NACoE) research program using the Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) and Geogrid. The research is being led by QUT Senior...
One of the challenges our asphalting contractor clients and their consultants have been struggling with is how to test the gravel base before laying asphalt on top to make sure you have compaction. They have been aware of the problem of non uniform compaction and soft...
The geotechnical behaviour of tailings dams and thickened mine tailings or paste deposits can be defined by determining the compaction state and resistant properties. One of the methods to achieve this is by using the PANDA®, a sophisticated Dynamic Cone...
One of the methods for measuring dynamic modulus on site and getting repeatable results immediately is using the Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD). By measuring the modulus value, the Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) provides the direct link between the design...
The PANDOSCOPE® is a ‘new’ non-destructive method of railway ballast condition assessment, which uses light and cost effective tests, based on the coupled use of the PANDA® dynamic cone penetrometer (a sophisticated DCP) and geo-endoscopy (images...
The GRIZZLY is the first Dynamic Probing Super Heavy (DPSH) in the world to automatically adapt its impact energy to the hardness of the soils. This enables it to measure the dynamic resistance of the soils even more accurately. Heavy dynamic penetrometers are the...
