PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The construction of a 7,500 sqm warehouse in Horotiu, within a subdivision that featured an associated two story office facility, covered yard spaces and hardstands.

GWE was commissioned to provide geotechnical investigations and advice. To this end, we delivered Bore Hole Drilling with our own Hilux Mounted Drill Rig to cover the site, comprised of 12 Bore Holes and 4 CPT tests. Our Engineers reviewed the data and considered the foundation requirements, providing the client with an Assessment of Static Settlement and Liquefaction Assessment.

    Further inspections were carried out during construction. These included the testing of:

    • Perimeter foundations.
    • Critical load-bearing areas.
    • Floor slab Areas for Post-Tensioned Floor slabs required plate load testing and further analysis due to the poor quality insitu soils and the specific requirements of the slab design.
    • Testing and recommendations for pavement construction.
    • All backfill materials using Scala Penetrometer Test probe, Clegg
    • Hammer and Nuclear Densometer.

    SERVICES PROVIDED

    • Geotechnical analysis pre-construction
    • Continuous testing during construction
