A geotechnical pipeline investigation is usually required to obtain an understanding of the ground conditions prior to undertaking works for pipeline construction. The pipeline investigation prevents hazards and can help minimise expensive issues down the line. Our comprehensive pipeline investigation will provide essential information to assist contractors and designers

Incorrect backfill and compaction incur risks for authorities associated with backfill subsidence and collapse. Compliance with a detailed specification will reduce or eliminate these risks by assisting contractors.
