SOIL TESTING · BORONIA, MELBOURNE
Laboratory strength, consolidation and shrink-swell testing can help characterise soil behaviour under defined test conditions. Share your project specification and specimen information so our team can confirm the appropriate method and preparation.
AVAILABLE TESTING
Direct shear and unconsolidated undrained triaxial testing assess strength response under method-specific stress and drainage conditions.
The requested stress conditions and specimen state must be confirmed before testing.
Direct shear · UU triaxialUnconfined compressive strength testing assesses the axial compressive response of a suitable cohesive soil specimen under the specified method.
Specimen dimensions, condition and suitability affect whether testing can proceed.
Soil unconfined compressive strength (UCS)One-dimensional consolidation testing observes deformation as specified vertical stresses are applied over time.
Provide the required loading schedule and project context where specified.
One-dimensional consolidationShrink-swell index testing characterises volume-change behaviour under the conditions of the selected method.
Confirm sample condition, orientation and preparation requirements with the laboratory.

lab@statewidegeotechnical.com.auCOMMON QUESTIONS
Use the test specified for your project. Direct shear, UU triaxial and UCS apply different conditions and do not provide interchangeable results. Send the specification to the laboratory if the requirement is unclear.
No. A sample must be suitable for the requested method and specimen preparation. Provide material and sampling details before delivery so suitability can be reviewed.
Quantity and dimensions depend on the selected test and specimen condition. Contact the laboratory before sampling or dispatch.
Accreditation applies to specific activities. Tell us if accredited testing is required so we can confirm the applicable scope. View the laboratory’s NATA listing ↗.
