Electronic vane shear testing (eVST) is an in-situ geotechnical method used to determine the undrained and remoulded shear strength of cohesive soils such as soft clays, silts, and cohesive mine tailings. It provides a rapid, low-disturbance alternative to laboratory testing, making it valuable for foundation design, slope stability analysis, and geotechnical site characterisat ...

One of the grand events we always look forward to every year is the GeoGroup Spring Hike and Picnic. Not only do we enjoy the outdoors and the fresh air, we seize this opportunity to break away from office life and get connected. Our office crew split up into two groups, one followed the casual 5km trail while the others felt more of a challenge was in order and tackled the 10k ...

Geomechanics was tasked with conducting Cone Penetration Testing (CPTu) at a mine, located about 60 kilometres north of Lilongwe, Malawi. The work formed part of the geotechnical investigation for the design of a new tailings facility. In total, our team completed over 500 metres of CPTu testing and 4,100 minutes of dissipation tests across 41 test positions.The project kicked ...
