Quality Field Engineering Solutions

Chadwick Geotechnics field engineering expertise covers a broad range of Geotechnical and Environmental services providing onsite sampling solutions of environmental, supervision of major construction works.

Our team of field engineers have extensive experience in the provision of field engineering services including, but not limited to, the inspection and verification of foundation excavations, visual pile inspections (in accordance with VicRoads Specification 606 and socketed pile inspections and validation in accordance with Specification 608), crane pad and piling rig assessments, isolated and/or ancillary structure founding and bearing capacity inspections.

Supporting investigations, our field engineering team is agile, efficient, and accurate and will provide onsite logging and co-ordination of the geotechnical investigation equipped with all relevant equipment including dynamic cone penetrometers (DCP), shear vanes and pocket penetrometers as well as ready access to our broad range of specialist geotechnical testing equipment including plate load and instrumentation (where we can supply, install and monitor).
