National Workshop on Transportation Geomechanics and Ground Improvement 2022
The National Workshop on Transportation Geomechanics and Ground Improvement was hosted by the Transport Research Centre (TRC), University of Technology Sydney and co-hosted by the Australian Geomechanics Society, and the technical committees TC202: Transportation Geotechnics and TC211: Ground Improvement of ISSMGE on 24 Nov 2022. Insitutek’s stabilisation and insitu testing methods were of great interest to participants.
The presentations focused on innovative R&D outcomes, practices, technological applications and case studies to allow the audience to learn about new tools and techniques relevant to their work.
A broad range of topics in the program were presented covering emerging themes and advances in the areas of Transport Geotechnics and Ground Improvement, including:
- Challenges and Innovations in Earthworks Controls for Transport Infrastructure
- Soft Ground Improvement
- Tunnelling in Soft Ground
- Waste Materials in Road and Rail Substructure
- Port Reclamation
- AI and Machine Learning Applications
- Use of Geosynthetics
- Soft Soil Instability and Mud Pumping under Cyclic Loads
- Environmental Impact Assessment, among others
That was really useful and informative yesterday – started a lot of discussion around here.
I have known the team at Insitutek for over ten years. Their professionalism, positivity and enthusiasm for their work is outstanding and I am pleased to recommend them.
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.

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 […]
