Got Groundwork Worries in Wigan? Trust us with your CBR testing. We provide top-notch California Bearing Ratio (CBR) tests, plate bearing tests and ground investigation services across Wigan and the North-West. Our team will give you the peace of mind that your ground is good to go for engineering purposes.
Building on a Solid Foundation
Every building project in Wigan, whether it’s road work, foundation design or even temporary works like piling mats, relies on getting a good idea of the strength and load-bearing capacity of the ground. That’s where CBR testing comes in. No matter what sort of construction project you’re working on, it’s fair to say that CBR testing is an essential tool.
Our team uses CBR tests and plate bearing testing to give you the accurate information you need to know the load-bearing capacity of your subgrade soil, materials, or standard crushed rock material. What’s more, our technicians follow standard methods using the best calibrated equipment and plate sizes suitable for the job, no matter what kind of site you have. This means you can make informed decisions and meet legal and engineering requirements with total confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is CBR testing, and how does it work?
CBR (California Bearing Ratio) testing is a standard method for determining the load-bearing capacity of the ground and construction materials for use in road and pavement construction or foundation engineering. We use a cylindrical plunger to determine the load required to achieve equal penetration, giving you a CBR value that’s essential for designing roads and engineering projects.
Is CBR testing a must for my project in Wigan?
CBR tests are a must for most construction and civil engineering projects, especially where you need to figure out pavement thickness, assess subgrade soil, or work out if the ground can take loads and surface structures. A lot of legal and engineering requirements in England make CBR testing a must.
How long do the tests take to complete?
We can do our CBR and plate load tests and have the report ready in the morning or afternoon, so there’s minimal disruption and a quick turnaround on your results.
Can you help with pavement design and foundation advice?
Absolutely. Our reports outline CBR values, bearing capacities, settlement, and soil behaviour and everything you need to know to get your project completed.
Do you offer other ground investigation or lab analysis services?
Yes, we do dynamic cone penetrometer testing, plate bearing tests and lab services to support all construction projects and civil engineering requirements in Wigan, Manchester, and the Northwest region.
Does the CBR value vary depending on the material?
Yes, results will differ based on compacted soil, crushed stone or standard crushed rock material. Testing is a must to figure out the suitability of your material.
