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
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.
If your after sales service is anything like what I have already received, I think I definitely made the correct choice.
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.

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 […]
