What is Test Pitting?
Establishing a new project and need to examine ground conditions on your site? Test pitting may allow you to assess soil conditions.
Test pitting helps to identify potential issues before construction begins, offering enormous potential savings by avoiding wasted efforts and preparing for construction ahead of time.
Test pitting can uncover a number of potential site problems including soil contamination, buried structures, unsuitable soil conditions, water table location, side wall instability, groundwater seepage and more.
If you need to conduct minimally invasive testing on your site, test pitting is an ideal option. Hole sizes can be kept to a minimum and dug in as many places as necessary.
Test Pitting Advantages
Cost-saving
Test pitting helps to identify potential issues before construction begins, offering enomorous potential savings by avoiding wasted efforts and preparing for construction ahead of time.
Informative
Test pitting can uncover a number of potential site problems including soil contamination, buried structures, unsuitable soil conditions, water table location, side wall instability, groundwater seepage and more.
Fast
Grassroots is capable of executing multiple test pits in one day, in many cases with a small number of crew. Excavation is far cheaper than drilling, and identifying issues can save projects from additional delays and expenses.
How Do I Know I Need Test Pitting?
New construction site
More Info
It is imperative to understand your site’s subsurface conditions before you begin operations. Test pitting may uncover issues prior to drilling, avoiding extended project deadlines and costs.
Generate visual info
More Info
The process of test pitting may help to differentiate between bedrock and large boulders in the superficial ground. It may also help to determine the genuine particle size of large-diameter soil particles such as boulders, gravel and cobble.
