Geotechnical Testing
Geotechnical testing equipment for New Zealand site investigation and soil laboratories. The range covers classification, strength and bearing capacity work, both in the field and on the bench.
Soil testing equipment handles compaction, moisture content, density and classification - the routine determinations behind most site investigation reports. For pavement design, our CBR test machines cover California Bearing Ratio testing in manual and automatic configurations, with the automatic units worth considering where throughput justifies the difference.
Shear strength is measured two ways depending on where you are. Our direct shear machines handle laboratory determination on prepared specimens, while the field inspection vane shear tester gives undrained shear strength on cohesive soils directly in the trial pit.
Most geotechnical procedures begin with sample preparation and moisture removal, so it is worth looking at our laboratory drying ovens and sample extruders and splitters alongside the testing apparatus itself.
All equipment supplied by quote with free nationwide shipping.
