SITE WORKS
AND INVESTIGATION
GGC provide a of range site based geotechnical services including site investigations, earthworks monitoring, and construction support. We are adept at planning and executing site work in a range of difficult conditions and environments.
Our fundamental belief is that geotechnical investigations should be undertaken to confirm the ground conditions and material properties and behaviour, and as such we undertake investigations to target particular and project specific issues. This pragmatic approach provides value for our clients and a more robust application of geotechnical engineering. We utilise a variety of investigation techniques including hand augers, test pits, infiltration testing, electric cone penetrometer testing, and boreholes.
