Reliable Test Pitting for Ground Assessment
Inland Drilling provides Test Pitting services to assist in keeping your project on schedule and within budget.
Test pitting is the process of excavating a pit for the purpose of conducting field tests and to ensure ground conditions are suitable for building prior to officially breaking ground.
Test pits can determine if your site has any potential problems relating to:
- Soil contamination
- Buried structures
- Unsuitable soil conditions
- Water table location
- Side wall stability
- Groundwater seepage
- Infiltration testing
Test pitting allows geotechnical and environmental engineers to quickly assess soils that can stand unsupported up to a maximum depth of 4 to 5 metres, and over a larger area than is possible with boring samples. Test pitting is a cost effective way to identify potential issues before a project is underway, thereby preventing time delays and unexpected expenses related to soil conditions.
