Balpara was engaged to perform a geotechnical assessment and soil testing for Stage 2 of the Southeast Business Park site in Pakenham.
Project Overview
As part of the Business Park’s Stage 2 development, Balpara provided a geotechnical assessment report and facilitated soil testing to determine the suitability of future works at this industrial and commercial development.
The geotechnical assessment involved the drilling of six horizontal boreholes, which were drilled at approximate locations along Henty Street, which runs parallel to the rail tracks. Soil samples were collected from each of the boreholes for geotechnical classification. Findings were prepared in a detailed report along with recommendations regarding bearing, soil strength and founding depths for the proposed works.
