Your Expertise Matters! We’d love your Help + Join Hands-On Geotechnical Events.
Your expertise and insights are invaluable to us! We’d love your help with a questionnaire on fine grain material particle size distributions and have two exciting geotechnical events that could be valuable for you.
Questionnaire on Fine Grained Material (Silt and Clay) Particle Size Distributions:
Are you working in the CMT space or are you a geotechnical or geology specialist?
Your feedback will play a vital role in developing an improved testing method for the Particle Size Distributions (PSD’s) of fine grained materials (silt and clays). The survey covers various aspects, including particle size distribution analysis, the use of hydrometer testing, challenges faced, and the potential benefits of mineralogy composition analysis.

We assure you that your responses will remain anonymous and confidential. |

Together, let’s drive progress and shape the future of our industry.
The ZFG 3000 is an excellent tool and should be included in any professional contractors equipment list of assets. This tool should have a similar impact on the construction industry as the laser level. The ability to accurately and reliably measure this aspect of ground condition will improve the quality of the work and remove doubt as to the progress of the project.
I bought my ZFG 3000 and on the same day less than two hours later, it had paid for itself. Using this instrument, I was able to demonstrate scientifically, repeatably and independently the quality of the work that we had completed for our client. Ending the disagreement and creating an improved working relationship. Most jobs are not as confrontational as this was however, most jobs are built to a standard. The contractor can now measure as required, to know on site, at the time of testing if this standard is being achieved.
I strongly recommend the ZFG 3000 Deflectometer to any earthmoving, civil construction contractor. Good luck with your projects.
The PANDA probe is giving us and the construction team very useful insight with immediate feedback on the compaction being achieved on a major new rail construction project in QLD. We have two teams working daily using PANDA DCP’s and the Automatic Hammer on the rail formation, enabling real time decision making with confidence, based on the highly repeatable results.
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.

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 […]
