When it comes to underground infrastructure, even minor inefficiencies can lead to major operational costs. Thermal backfill materials play a crucial role in maximising the efficiency of underground power cables and pipelines in the energy sector.
Meeting precise thermal and electrical resistivity standards is essential for achieving optimal performance, sustainability, and safety.
Chadwick Geotechnics specialises in thermal and electrical resistivity testing, supporting engineers and project managers to:
• Choose the right thermal backfill materials to reduce operational costs and improve system reliability
• Improve heat dissipation for underground power cables to enhance efficiency and extend cable lifespan
• Enhance project functionality and longevity to minimise downtime and boost return on investment
• Collaborate on R&D to stay at the forefront of backfill innovation and meet evolving industry needs
With over a decade of experience in 𝗡𝗔𝗧𝗔-𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 lab and field resistivity testing, we deliver accurate, reliable results for critical projects.
Our accreditation covers both the latest ASTM D5334-2022 standard for field and laboratory thermal resistivity testing and AS 1289.4.4.1 for electrical resistivity testing, ensuring you meet the highest benchmarks of quality and compliance.
