Chadwick Geotechnics, a Tonkin + Taylor Group subsidiary specialising in testing, commissioned a geotechnical investigation for Decmil Pty Ltd.
Scope of work included:
- Conduct ground investigation activities, including drilling boreholes at each turbine location
- Installing temporary piezometers
- Excavate test pits at the turbine sites and along the internal access roads and external pavements alignments
We also provided geophysical survey services and pavement design expertise within the project scope.
The project involved installing 52 wind turbines, constructing 38.2 kilometres of access roads, and upgrading the public road network. To meet the technical requirements, our team conducted geotechnical and hydrogeological assessments, provided geotechnical laboratory services, contributed to the design of external pavements, conducted a geophysical survey, and developed pavement designs for roads and hardstands. We also offered advice on subgrade preparation and treatment to ensure optimal performance.
Tonkin + Taylor Group’s involvement in this project demonstrated our geotechnical investigations, laboratory services, and pavement design expertise. Our comprehensive approach helped ensure the successful execution of the project and the delivery of reliable, efficient infrastructure for wind turbine development.
