Loads of geotechnical assessment tools

We always focus on achieving the best material quality, which means that the preparatory work needs to be done thoroughly. It pays off in the long run, both for the environment and the economy of the project.

Geotechnical evaluation is central to the recycling of excavated soil, with the aim of identifying appropriate remediation methods and effective reuse of materials on site. By analyzing mass properties such as grain size, density and contaminants, we can develop tailored solutions that meet both environmental requirements and reuse objectives.

Responsible mass management

Important aspects include establishing site-specific benchmarks depending on the land use, creating effective sampling plans, and managing masses responsibly. Proper management includes identifying reusable materials, necessary remediation measures and safe disposal of masses.

The following tools and methods are often used in this process:

  • Laboratory tests: to determine the physical and chemical properties of the masses.
  • Environmental analysis: to detect pollution.
  • Geotechnical software: To model the behavior of the masses under different loading conditions.
  • Field tests: such as SPT and plate load tests, to assess the bearing capacity of the soil.
  • Classification system: To categorize masses based on their geotechnical properties.
  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Risk Assessments: to evaluate environmental impacts and potential risks.

These methods can be used in combination for a comprehensive assessment. Reuse decisions are based on the characteristics of the masses and economic, environmental and regulatory factors.

Permits for mechanical processing and continuous dialog with authorities, environmental agencies and consultants are necessary to ensure that the processes comply with applicable laws and contribute to sustainable development.

In order to achieve the best material quality, the preparatory work needs to be carried out thoroughly. From an economic and environmental perspective, this approach is most beneficial. Contact us if you want to know more.
