A comprehensive geotechnical and topographic field program supports the design and construction of a project near Gympie, Queensland.
At a site near Gympie, Queensland, GEOINTEC brought together a range of geotechnical and topographic investigation techniques to build a detailed picture of the ground conditions before design and construction.
The field program included:
- Dynamic Probe Super Heavy (DPSH) testing
- Thermal and Electrical resistivity testing
- Test pitting
- Plate load testing
- Boreholes
- Land topographical survey with LiDAR drone
The combination of intrusive investigation, in-situ testing, geophysical methods and drone surveying provides a comprehensive understanding of the ground conditions and supports the engineering and design of the project. This geotechnical and topographic approach allowed GEOINTEC’s team to cross-check findings across methods, reducing uncertainty in the ground model handed over to designers.
The geotechnical and topographic work is particularly valuable on sites where soil variability, near-surface obstructions or access constraints can limit the reliability of any single test method. By combining DPSH profiling, resistivity mapping, test pits, plate load tests, boreholes and a LiDAR topographic survey, GEOINTEC’s team obtains a robust and reliable characterisation of the ground.
The Gympie campaign reflects GEOINTEC’s broader approach to geotechnical and topographic investigation. Selects the right combination of field techniques to characterise the ground comprehensively, rather than relying on a single method, and tailoring the scope of each geotechnical and topographic survey to the specific challenges of the site.
With this project, GEOINTEC reaffirms its commitment to technical quality at every stage of the geotechnical and topographic survey. Delivering reliable data that supports safe, well-informed engineering decisions across the full lifecycle of the project, from early design through to construction.
