The moisture content of intact rock is a key index property used in geotechnical characterisation, rock mass classification, and the assessment of rock behaviour during excavation and construction. Western Geotechnical Laboratory Services (WGLS) provides accredited Rock Moisture Content testing to AS 4133.1.1.1, determining the ratio of water to dry rock mass in intact core samples. This fundamental measurement supports geotechnical investigations for mining, civil infrastructure, and slope stability projects, providing engineers and geologists with reliable baseline data on the in-situ moisture state of rock materials from our NATA-accredited laboratory in Welshpool, Perth.
