Civiltest provides expert geotechnical engineering and soil testing services for commercial and non-residential construction projects. We support the development of factories, warehouses, school buildings, hospitals, service stations, retail centres, and large infrastructure facilities. Our professional team delivers comprehensive site investigations, soil analysis, and foundation recommendations to ensure every structure is built on safe, stable ground.
With extensive experience across industrial and commercial sectors, Civiltest works closely with builders, developers, engineers and project managers to meet strict construction standards, timelines and compliance requirements. Our detailed geotechnical reports help minimise risk, control costs and ensure foundations are designed to suit site-specific ground conditions.
Specialised Geotechnical Capability
Civiltest specialises in soil classification, compaction testing, subgrade assessment, and foundation investigations for commercial and non-residential developments. We assess soil bearing capacity, groundwater conditions, fill material suitability and ground improvement requirements to support structurally sound construction.
Our fleet includes advanced equipment designed for efficient site access, including:
- All-terrain rigs with SPT (Standard Penetration Testing) capability
- Truck-mounted drilling rigs
- Small track-mounted rigs for restricted access sites
- Concrete coring and rock coring equipment
This allows us to conduct geotechnical drilling, borehole testing, and in-situ soil investigations across a wide range of environments - from tight urban developments to large industrial sites.
Our reports are prepared in accordance with Australian Standards and are suitable for council approvals, structural engineers and building surveyors.
