SITE CLASSIFICATION & FOOTING DESIGNS

A Site Classification is an important document for many building projects. In order for a buildings footing system to be designed appropriately one of the first steps is to determine the site classification. At Home & Industrial Consulting Engineers we have a team of experienced soil testers who work closely with our dedicated engineers to ensure that each site is classified correctly. In addition to the basic site classification, our report provides in-depth information on any site and/or soil problems that could be irregular to the individual site as well as providing minimum footing recommendations and expected soil movements based on our broad experience and testing results.

As a company we pride ourselves on being at the “leading edge” of soil testing procedures and our testing practices comply with Australian Standards AS 1726, AS 2870-2011 and Foundation and Footings Society (Vic) practice notes, all of which are established and accepted industry practice.
