Slope Stability Investigation, Analysis and Remedial Design
The cause of slopes failure is either natural for example high rainfall, coastal erosion, flooding, or more commonly by poorly designed engineering works, for example road cuttings in slopes which have pre-existing slip surfaces, surcharging a slope, changing the groundwater regime, removing tree cover. Southern Testing has a wealth of experience investigating slopes which have both naturally failed, and where a risk of slope failure has been recognised on engineering works.
Our engineering and technical team has experience in:

Our projects range in scale between small private plots, to large housing developments and civil engineering projects.
Earthworks
Southern Testing's expertise in earthworks includes determination of soil compaction parameters, specification of fill materials, optimisation of design, monitoring, quality control and performance, design of cut and fill slopes and analysis of settlement characteristics.
A critical factor in earthworks is the costs and benefits in minimising the import and export of bulk materials from site. By combining our wide range of experience, with our knowledge of the latest investigation and construction techniques, we are able to provide innovative and cost effective, solutions in the following areas:
