Successful Soil Testing for Wynnum Manley Leagues Club
Recently, the Wynnum Manley Leagues Club undertook a massive overhaul of their premises. There was a lot of pressure to get the project done quickly to reopen the club without cutting corners. The Leagues Club hired Civil Quality Assurance for expert soil testing and earthworks on the project, working to strict deadlines. Soil Testing and […]
Soil Properties & Resistivity
Soil properties to determine soil thermal resistivity testing by Tempsand All soils are different so what makes up soil and how are they affecting soil thermal resistivity testing properties Soil usually consists of three basic constituents. 1. Solids in Soil In soil, solids can be anything from a clay particle to a gravel piece. Every solid can be made up of any element however the […]
Soil Thermal Resistivity Testing Basics
Soil thermal resistivity testing is a crucial stage in preparing to bury an underground utility line. The thermal resistivity of soil describes its ability to retain or dissipate heat. You Need to Know Thermal Resistivity Before You Bury: Power lines Phone lines Data lines Petroleum pipelines Solar power storage Why Thermal Resistivity Matters Heat retention is a key […]

Geotechnical Investigation & Engineering
What are geotechnical investigations? Good soil information is precious. It can lead to significant savings and firm foundations designs because the parameter designs are well defined. If the information is comprehensive, the structure built will be more economical, and it will be stronger. The objective of geotechnical investigations is to build a good building at […]
Soil Thermal Resistivity Testing for rail infrastructure
Soil thermal resistivity testing is essential for electrical rail infrastructure. It is acknowledged that electrical cables produce heat. This heat is a by-product of the electrons in the metal. When the particles move there is friction. Friction causes heat and this is why the cable heats. In high load areas such as Rail infrastructure most […]
Soil Thermal Resistivity Testing and Saving for Clients
Soil thermal resistivity testing or soil thermal conductivity testing is a relatively new field and as such little is known about how some soils can react and the implications it may have on infrastructure. It is obvious that soil thermal resistivity testing can have significant savings in not only the cable sizing but also the amperage or […]
Soil thermal resistivity testing and underground Power lines
Soil thermal resistivity testing for underground power cables Knowing the soil thermal conductivity can help with the power load on underground power cables. Recently, Victoria had large bush fires that caused loss of life and millions of dollars of damage to homes and the states infrastructure. It has been reported that some of the fires […]
