in AUSTRALIA

GEOTECHNICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES IN Australia

Our Brisbane, Perth, and Sydney offices service Australia and the Oceania regions, providing site characterisation across all sectors, including mining, transportation, infrastructure, and energy. We offer a range of services, including Seismic Cone Penetration Testing (SCPTu), Electronic Vane Shear Testing (eVST), Pressuremeter Testing (PMT), Dilatometer Testing (DMT), undisturbed and disturbed sampling, instrumentation installations, and more. With over 30 years of experience across the globe, our team of experts is dedicated to delivering safe, high-quality, and efficient site investigations for your next project.

Cone Penetration Testing standard, ISO 22476-1:2022

ConeTec is now able to calibrate cone penetrometers and conduct field CPTu testing in general accordance with the new and rigorous ISO-22476-1:2022 standard: 'Geotechnical Investigation & Field Testing - Part 1 - Electrical Cone and Piezocone Penetration Testing'. This standard is a significant step change upgrade from the previous 2012 version.
Collecting high quality geotechnical information for our clients while performing a wide range of site investigation services is part of how we measure success. This is achieved by:

• Advanced in-situ testing equipment calibrated to the latest standards
• Executing scopes with specially trained personnel following rigorous QAQC controls to meet or exceed these standards
• Site investigation professionals supporting our field and operations teams from across the globe, some with 40+ years of industry experience

We are proud to offer ISO 22476-1:2022, Class 0 and 1 cones for testing soft or sensitive soils or mine tailings with a higher degree of confidence.
