Professional Soakage Testing Services
Professional soakage testing and bore drilling services to evaluate stormwater disposal capacity in Auckland's volcanic ground. Our experienced drilling team carries out comprehensive tests to determine infiltration performance and ground suitability for soakholes and drainage design.
We provide:
- Test bores for soakage – 100 mm diameter bores drilled in basalt to encounter fractured rock and cavities prior to testing.
- Large diameter bores – 150 mm diameter bores in new or existing soakholes for high-flow stormwater disposal.
- Foundation investigation – Percussion (pneumatic/hydraulic) drilling up to 20 m to assess fill, loose rock and solid rock.
- Excavation investigation – Small-diameter percussion bores to locate solid rock levels for excavation planning.
- Flow testing of existing soakholes – Conducted using water trucks with non-potable water and full flow monitoring.
