O’Keefe Soil Remediation Limited offer solutions to ground problems and remediation requirements throughout the UK. As part of its package of providing economic, innovative and technical expertise, it can now provide in-house testing of soils and materials to ensure that the best possible use of its resources are available to clients.

The testing laboratory has the facilities to carry out preliminary testing of site materials to enable the most appropriate use of its remediation and stabilising techniques. Soil samples can be tested for classification purposes and to determine their engineering properties. Trial mixes are carried out to confirm that the proposed design mixes meet any specific site requirements. These may be to either requirements or as a result of our own design specification.

Testing is carried out to BS1377 and BS1924 procedures and includes:-

• Moisture content
• Liquid & Plastic limit
• Particle size analysis by both sieve and sedimentation methods
• Particle Density
• Moisture / Density relationship
• Moisture Condition Value
• California Bearing Ratio
• Degree of Pulverisation
• Moisture Condition Value
• Site Density Testing
• Insitu CBR Determination
• Compressive strength
• Undrained shear strength
• Swelling and the effect of immersion in water
• Additional tests can be arranged upon request
