We offer testing in the field and in-house at our quality-controlled laboratory.

Our state-of-the-art, in-house laboratory sets us apart as the leading provider of its kind in Australia.

Capacity & Facility

Combining industry-best practices with decades of experience, we deliver unmatched accuracy in data collection and analysis—both in the field and in our quality-controlled lab.

This unique capability empowers clients with deeper insights, streamlined precision processes and more intelligent decision-making.

  • Erosion studies by in-house rainfall simulation and flume
  • Geochemical analysis using AMIRA leach columns, humidity cells, and handheld XRF technology
  • Physical characterisation including texture analysis, pH and electrical conductivity testing, soil water characteristic curves, compaction, particle size distribution, Atterberg limits, and saturated permeability
  • Density by water field testing
  • Advanced drone surveying capabilities including LiDAR, multispectral, and thermal imaging
