The geotechnical work has generally involved the following:<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

  • Assistance with the Earthquake Commission\u2019s (EQC) geotechnical investigations of residential properties in TC3 zoned land including marking out CPT and drill-hole locations and supervision of the CPT and drill-rigs.<\/li>
  • Geotechnical investigation and appraisal works of residential sites for insurance assessment purposes and for the purposes of determining an appropriate \u201crepair strategy\u201d for the property.<\/li>
  • Liquefaction potential and lateral ground spread assessments for commercial and residential properties.<\/li>
  • Forensic engineering investigations, appraisals and slope stability assessments for properties in the \u201cHills\u201d.<\/li>
  • Geotechnical investigation and appraisal works in support of building consent applications for proposed new residential, commercial and industrial buildings.<\/li>
  • Assessment and appraisal of geotechnical hazards affecting potential subdivision sites, in support of applications for subdivision consent.<\/li>
  • Assessment of the risk of sites being adversely affected by liquefaction induced ground spread in response to a future large earthquake event.<\/li>
  • Provision of geotechnical expert evidence as part of court\/mediation proceedings.<\/li>
  • Provision of geotechnical peer review services for Hurunui District Council.<\/li>
  • Detailed design and supervision of ground remediation works for sites that could potentially be affected by significant ground deformation associated with liquefaction in response to a future large earthquake event.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
