When this service helps
Where acid sulfate soils are suspected, testing before ground disturbance helps identify what further assessment or management may be needed. The sampling approach depends on the site and proposed excavation.
What you receive
Sampling records and laboratory results for the commissioned acid sulfate soil tests. Depending on the agreed scope, this includes:
Sampled locations and depths
Results for the commissioned laboratory testing
Further assessment recommendations where included
Your questions, answered
Is this the same as testing soil aggressivity to concrete or steel?
No. The purpose, testing and interpretation differ. Tell us whether the concern is acid sulfate soil disturbance, material durability or both.
What should I send with my enquiry?
Send your site address, proposed works, available plans or reports, access details and preferred timing. You can enquire before all plans are available.
When can the work be arranged?
Tell us your preferred timing and any access constraints. We’ll confirm the site visit and reporting timeframes for the agreed work before it begins.
