AG’s approach to geotechnical data collection, encompassing both traditional and digital methods, is driven by a focus on maximising the amount of relevant data from the investigation. We will seek to understand the project requirements and desired outcomes as part of planning the data collection programme. This also entails reviewing the data available from existing databases and any other relevant sources to refine and optimise the field activities.
Areas of expertise include:
- Review of geological data collection procedures
- Planning and executing geotechnical data collection programmes
- Training of geological personnel in geotechnical data collection
- Maximising geotechnical data collection from diamond drilling
- Design, management and interpretation of televiewer surveys
- QA/QC of structural data collection, including televiewer and photogrammetry
- Mining infrastructure investigations
- Sampling for geotechnical testing
- Laboratory testing
