Pavement Investigation and Design

At Torrens Geotechnics, we provide comprehensive pavement investigation and design services in accordance with Austroads guidelines and relevant state road authority specifications, including the Department for Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) and other state-specific standards across Australia. Our capabilities cover both flexible and rigid pavement designs, supporting a wide range of civil infrastructure and development projects.

Here’s what we offer:

  • Thorough site investigation: Including borehole drilling, dynamic cone penetrometer (DCP) testing, and sampling to assess existing ground conditions.

  • Laboratory testing: Determining California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and other parameters to assess subgrade strength and guide pavement thickness design.

  • Site-specific evaluations: Accounting for natural moisture content, variability in fill materials, and traffic load expectations to ensure practical, durable pavement solutions.

  • Designs in compliance with Austroads and local standards: Applying proven design methods tailored to national guidelines and local authority requirements, including DIT specifications.

  • Flexible and rigid pavement designs: Supporting new road construction, residential developments, industrial access, and rehabilitation projects with solutions designed for performance and cost-effectiveness.

Torrens Geotechnics delivers clear, tailored pavement solutions that meet both national and local specifications, ensuring your project is built on a solid and durable foundation.
