This is work normally requiring the services of an engineer to supervise, or in some circumstances, work that is “outside the square”.
We are experts in all facets, have worked all over Wellington, Kapiti Coast, Hutt Valley, Wairarapa and Porirua regions. Unfortunately, in our travels, we have struck some pretty soft ground that does extend on some circumstances, quite a long way down to solid ground. We can not guess what depths are, which of course does not give our valued client, an accurate quote. The deeper the depth, the more expensive it becomes.
So if and when this happens, we employ our “Ace in the hole” technique. That is, we use specialised equipment to undertake a “Scala penetrometer” test. This is a test we personally undertake under guidance and training from engineer so client is not left waiting weeks to find out what’s what, and can get a quote rather than a guess, that can quite possibly be thousands of dollars off the mark which is what some unscrupulous repilers employ as a great little money making scheme.
The test itself attracts a prepaid fee of $550.00 excl GST. A travel fee for areas outside Wellington city would be applicable.
