Prior to embarking on any new home construction or extension project, conducting a thorough soil assessment, commonly referred to as a Soil Test or Site Classification Report to AS2870-2011, is imperative.
Southern Geotech’s soil testing and Site Classification Reports meticulously evaluate on-site soil conditions, classify the site, and offers crucial footing recommendations. This information is imperative for your engineer, architect, draftsman, and builder during the design phase of your project.
For upper storey additions, a footing probe will also need to be conducted. This involves excavating existing footings to ascertain their dimensions, founding material and estimated load-bearing capacity. This comprehensive assessment equips Engineers with vital insights to ascertain the adequacy of existing footings in supporting new upper storey loads.
All Site Classification Reports adhere to the Australian standard 2870-2011 Residential Slab sand Footings for footings and slabs.
Our Site Classification Reports span a diverse spectrum of residential projects, including but not limited to:
- New Homes
- Ground Floor Extensions
- Upper Storey Additions
- Multi-Unit Developments
- Ground Floor Extensions
- Upper Storey Additions
- New Building Project
- Dual Occupancy
