Insitutek introduces TERRA-3000® for Soil Stabilisation
As part of our commitment to enabling our clients to push forward with confidence, we are now offering TERRA-3000® – a transformational long lasting sustainable soil stabilisation solutions for soil improvement. TERRA-3000® facilitates the creation of a base-grade from in-situ materials at a lesser depth, delivering better performance at a lower cost, than traditional pavement design. TERRA-3000® transforms in-situ soils into a high-performing asset by permanently and irreversibly breaking down the capillary action of water within cohesive fines during treatment. As a consequence, treated soil particles are more closely associated during compaction. The result is the treated layers are no longer prone to the problems associated with the ingress of water and pavement strength is markedly improved. Whilst substantially improving the performance of in-situ soils used in civil construction, TERRA-3000® is carbon neutral, water-soluble, non-leaching, safe to handle, and is suitable for use in environmentally sensitive environments. TERRA-3000® is a sustainable development product that supports the ethos that true sustainability is consuming less. These factors are very important to us.

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.
The Light Weight Deflectometer (LWD) was first used in 1998 by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) at the Minnesota Road Research Project. Starting in 2005 the LWD has been used by Mn/DOT as an acceptance tool for the compaction of roadbed and miscellaneous embankment and trench construction, culvert treatments and other tapered construction.
I felt the training was very thorough. If anyone doesn’t know how to use a PANDA after that session, they shouldn’t be using one at all.

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 […]
