All owners and operators of Nuclear Density / Moisture gauges are required, under the Code of Practice and Safety Guide (Portable Density/Moisture Gauges Containing Radioactive Sources – Series 5), to measure the radiation levels emitted from the device at distances of 50mm and 1000mm from each face of the meter at least annually. This testing is crucial for maintaining safe working conditions and ensuring compliance with industry regulations. Regular monitoring of gamma radiation levels helps prevent exposure risks to operators and others on-site, making it an essential safety measure in geotechnical work.
As part of our comprehensive geotechnical testing services, Ground Science operates its own calibrated survey meter to carry out these essential radiation level measurements. Our testing procedure is designed to meet the highest standards of accuracy, ensuring that every gauge is safe and compliant with current regulations. This commitment to quality is part of why Ground Science is a trusted name in the geotechnical field.
In addition to nuclear density/moisture gauge testing, our geotechnical testing services encompass a wide range of soil and material tests, enabling us to support various construction and environmental projects. This includes soil compaction testing, soil classification, and moisture content analysis. By providing such a diverse suite of testing services, we help clients make informed decisions on soil suitability, structural design, and material use, ultimately contributing to the safety and stability of construction projects.
Our team of experienced professionals is not only skilled in conducting these tests but also in interpreting the results. This means that we can offer valuable insights into the condition of materials and soils, allowing clients to take proactive steps if any issues are detected. By including nuclear density/moisture gauge testing as part of our geotechnical services, we ensure that our clients receive a comprehensive approach to equipment safety and quality control.
