Geotechnical Testing

Ashdown Site Investigation is able to undertake a comprehensive range of soils tests at its own laboratory located in Lewes, East Sussex.

Tests available include:

Classification Testing

• Atterberg limits
• Particle size distribution (wet sieve, dry sieve, hydrometer)
• Specific gravity
• Saturation moisture content
• Soil Suction

Shear Strength

• Triaxial compression testing
• Shear box testing

Consolidation and Compaction Related Testing

• One-dimensional consolidation (oedometer) testing
• Moisture content/dry density relationship testing
• California bearing ratio

All tests are carried out to BS1377:1990 the British Standard Code of Practice for Methods of Test for Soils for Civil Engineering Purposes or to other standards and codes where appropriate.

Chemical (Contamination) Testing

Working with a number of UKAS accredited analytical laboratories, we offer a fast, cost effective contamination testing service for the identification of a comprehensive range of contaminants in soil, building materials, water and gas samples.
