Soil Thermal Resistivity
Soil Thermal Resistivity Testing in Melbourne
Serving Sydney and Adelaide
Constructing a new power line? Underground power lines for buildings and electrical services are essential in today's modern society. Underground power lines cost a lot, and they need to be efficient and need to be protected from extreme weather conditions. The soil around the lines can help you save money. Testing for soil thermal resistivity can help reduce costs and add efficiency.
When you construct a new building, you might first think about the foundation, the structure, the wiring or the plumbing. However, the soil that the building rests upon is just as important, especially if you want to have buried cables to conduct power your building. To ensure that your soil is up to the job, you need soil thermal resistivity testing from Civil Quality Assurance PTY LTD.
What Is Soil Thermal Resistivity?
Soil thermal resistivity testing is important to ensure that the soil beneath your building is capable of handling large amounts of electrical heat. If the soil is not capable, this could lead to damaged cables, dry soil and even unstable ground.
When you hire Civil Quality Assurance Pty Ltd, we will sample the soil. We can also provide a thermal backfill for transferring heat from loaded cables.
What Is the Importance of Thermal Conductivity Soil?
Soil that conducts heat well is beneficial for buried cables. In turn, buried cables provide benefits such as unobstructed views and less potential for weather or traffic accidents to cut your building’s power.
In addition, good heat-conducting soil helps you save on construction time, money and effort.
How Can Civil Quality Assurance Pty Ltd Help?
As your local NATA-approved and accredited soil testers, we have the services and products available to not only save on construction costs and time but also improve Australia's infrastructure as a whole.
With our understanding of soil thermal resistivity testing and what works best for your building as a result, we can provide a comprehensive overview of the ground beneath your feet.
We are registered to test to ASTM D5334 and IEEE standard 442.

The benefits of using Civil Quality Assurance
We have the production service along with NATA testing to ASTM D5334. To ensure the highest quality of testing. First time every time Quality Guaranteed!
Cost effective
Because all our testing is done in house we are cost effective with higher productivity.
Environmentally friendly
If construction is not a problem but contamination of your site has occurred due to unfortunate practices of the past we are able to assist in the identification of the suspect material and its removal and remediation
Easy to install
There are no specialist needed so your labourers can place the material. It’s similar to compacting sand and therefore not expensive to handle.
Prevents damage
When there is construction of structures whether it is a pipeline, a subdivision or road works there is damage done to the natural environment. Once this happens it is often incumbent before, during and after the structure has been built for environmental testing, monitoring, supervision and rehabilitation to take place.
With our experienced environmental staff we can offer a comprehensive service to the design parameters set by the engineering authority. This can include but not limited to the careful identification, temporary removal, preservation and re establishment of the protected species of flora to their original surrounding where possible.
MAKE THE SWITCH
Together, we give you what leading energy consultants consider is the single most important asset you can have – a cheaper, more efficient delivery of energy. Statistics reveal that companies are switching to Thermofill® and the reason is simple – it works. Your reward will be a job that has suddenly become easier, more efficient and much cheaper.
