Field testing provides real-time, on-site data that laboratory testing alone cannot deliver. It gives engineers and site supervisors immediate confidence that earthworks, pavements, and subgrades are meeting compaction and bearing requirements as construction progresses. Western Geotechnical Laboratory Services (WGLS) offers a comprehensive range of accredited field testing services across Western Australia. Our capabilities include Nuclear Density Meter testing for in-situ compaction verification (AS 1289.5.8.1 / WA 324.2), Nuclear Density Meter with Rock Correction, Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (AS 1289.6.3.2), Perth Sand Penetrometer with and without compaction correlation (AS 1289.6.3.3), Dryback Moisture Content to MRWA Specification 201 (WA 110.1 / 136.1), Pavement Dipping and Layer Thickness including DCP of subgrade and reinstatement (WA 330.1), and Plate Load Bearing testing (ASTM D1196). Our experienced field technicians operate across metropolitan Perth and regional Western Australia, including remote project locations.
