The verification of actual site conditions is a key facet to the Engineering Geological Model process. Verification of conditions allows the design to be adjusted where anticipated conditions differ from the actual conditions.
EDG has a broad range of skills around construction verification and monitoring including:
- Mapping of cut slope faces for support and erosion treatment nomination.
- Embankment foundation assessments and nomination of foundation treatments.
- Pile observation and assessment.
- Ground anchor logging and testing.
- Soil nail logging and testing.
- Footing assessment.
- Hazard identification for natural and man-made slopes (including rope access).
- Earthworks compliance assessment.
- Monitoring of foundation settlements, comparison to predictions and back-analysis of parameters.
Key projects for which EDG has provided construction phase services and monitoring assessment include Cross River Rail in Brisbane, Eton Range Realignment Project, Sarina Range Reconstruction, Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion Project and several building development projects.
