Constant Head Borehole Soakage Testing

GeoTec Site Investigations provides constant head borehole soakage testing for projects where infiltration characteristics need to be assessed within a borehole

Borehole infiltration testing

Borehole infiltration testing for deeper ground assessment

This method can be useful where deeper infiltration information is required or where a trial pit soakage test is not practical for the site.

Practical site investigation, clear communication

Understanding infiltration potential

The test helps assess how water infiltrates into the surrounding ground from a borehole. This information can support drainage engineers and consultants when considering soakaway options or other surface water drainage solutions.
