Upcoming geotechnical and soil investigations

Geotechnical and soil investigations will be conducted from late January over the course of approximately two weeks to support long-term water security options for Dayboro.

Geotechnical and soil investigations will be conducted from late January over the course of approximately two weeks (weather and conditions permitting) to understand the type and strength of the soil and rock. These investigations will involve collecting soil samples from the area and will not require access to private property. The work will occur during day time hours between Monday and Friday and may take a few hours to complete at each location. 

What can I expect? 

  • A small number of workers in the area 

  • A small drill rig attached to the back of a vehicle to drill boreholes 

  • A small excavator to dig test pits 

  • Nearby residents may experience intermittent noise and vibration 

  • The drilling and digging process will create small holes and pits in the ground which will be filled in upon completion of the investigations.
